Re: Giants From South Africa
A funfly would be cool. Finding a central spot could be tricky since we are so spread out but its not impossible. Did you have a venue in mind?

Re: Giants From South Africa
Steven, Kind of like Oudtshoorn, but without the circle flying

Re: Giants From South Africa
hope the weathers good for it.
Need to see if a place like Beafort west could work for a fun fly. pretty central, well a bit closer to cpt than jnb, and dont think the municipal airport gets too busy. Would be killer at a place like verneek pan. FAR way from anything. |

Re: Giants From South Africa
Beafort west may be a good option, I suppose anywhere between there and Bloemfontein is more or less central.
A flat pan would be awesome, nothing to crash into and plenty of space to land.

Re: Giants From South Africa
I'v got a long wheel base Toyota Hiace commuter bus, and have taken all the seats out, it will just fit in spinner and all. ( I hope )

Re: Giants From South Africa
The 50% edge is sweet, cant wait to see Hempels's new 50% 260. That 300evo looks like a demon, must sound awesome. |
