Gert Coetzee www.zu-dve.com

I started a website logging all my flights when I just started flying at a time when my enthusiasm forced me to read write eat sleep and breath microlights. Since I started the logs, I have continued, but get less and less visits, so am thinking of spending my energy well uhm perhaps gardening or adapting the log to list, rather than have a pictorial log. Please have a look at www.zu-dve.com ! Continue

Mike Green 912S mounting bolts

I am rebuilding an Air Creation GTE Clipper and will be installing a Rotax 912S on it. I had no idea that the set of mounting bolts and bushings were going to be so expensive. Rotax lists the set at over $1,000.00 U.S. I knew Rotax parts are ridiculously overpriced but this is outright Piracy! Does anyone happen to have a set that they would like to sell in order to help a fellow triker with a limited budget get his newest project airborne? Continue

Diego Sagrera Trike Accident on December 2006

I didn’t know weather to upload this photos, but then I decided that it is a reminder for all of us to fly safe. This Trike belonged to a friend of mine, the problem he had was stubbornness, I had never seen a person as stubborn as he was, all of us tried to reason with him and he just didn’t listen, actually we had him banned from our group because we all sow this coming. What happened was that his wing was so old that the fabric ripped, as you can see he had some blue patches sown on the fabri… Continue

Gordon Marshall EQ1 WIRELESS HEADSETS

Hi, I would like to bring to the attention of fellow microlight/trike pilots the arrival of the new wireless communications system that I have had the fortune of assisting in the development over the last 3 years. As a microlight instructor and flying in both my own aircraft and a multitude of students aircraft I was dismayed at the constant problems with innefficient or faulty comms. These issues cause immense frustration and at the end of the day money is lost for the school and the student m… Continue
