If I'd known about this earlier I'd have had it on the forum calendar. I have added it now but it's a bit pointless. I need to be told about events to get them up there so people can plan ahead.

My comment is a general comment - not spcifically about this event - I need to be told so i can advertise things on the calendar. I'm not sure where it was advertised but I haven't seen it as I am not involved in RAANZ. I am always happy to promote events here for clubs and whoever though. This forum is all about the aviation community and people making contact with others.

Might be an idea to have a Microlite forum.
No worries as most of the major mags have failed to list it only one has done so......

Microlites have always been a most welcome topic right here in the Experimental and Homebuilt Board.

I called in early today to catch most before they departed. Good range of LSA. I believe this the future of GA in NZ. I was most impressed with the 75% scale replica of Albatross. Complete with Toyota Corolla engine. Tom designed and built the aircraft from scratch and the workmanship is a credit to him.
