We were pre-informed that flying would start late so I arrived at the airfield at about 1:30.

The news was not good, in fact it sucked. Earlier the morning there had been a prop strike with the Falke during a cross wind landing. Man this really blows. How many weeks am I going to need to wait before I can fly solo again! I am not a happy camper. :'(

Anyways I did get two nice circuits in with the Blanik in a fresh 15-25 knot wind. I thoroughly enjoyed the flights and managed to do the circuit planning and landings pretty much unassisted as I'm now getting the hang of using the flaps. Cost = 90ZAR.
