Towing this weekend! [5 - 6 SEP/09]
My overseas trip has been postponed a bit, so let's go towing!
Both days look very good. Forecasted SSE ~5 m/s (10 kts) at the Te Aroha Aerodrome on both Saturday and Sunday.
Please let me know if you're interested to come and on which day by sending an email to michel<at>acromania<dot>nl so I can determine if there will be enough people. We'll probably go only one day (depending on interest), so keep an eye on this thread or look here: http://twitter.com/KiwiAir
All information on how to get to the field and the cost per tow can be found here.
See you there!
We're going towing on
We're going towing on Saturday at Te Aroha from 10:30 am onwards. Go to http://kiwi-air.co.nz for more information.
SUNDAY 06/09 STILL UNSURE,
SUNDAY 06/09 STILL UNSURE, WILL MAKE A DECISION IN THE MORNING!
Please let me know if you're keen to go by sending me a text on 021 1046 208
Saturday was very nice and good fun, thanks everybody for coming and helping out. I hope you all enjoyed your flights, even though the thermals were not abundant this time!
A lot of things were left on the field on Saturday, ranging from rubbish (PLEASE take it with you!!!) to bags of chips, bottles of water and even several very expensive items. Contact me if you lost or forgot something. I will be starting to put items on trademe soon... ;o)
Furthermore, please bring cash when you come flying and pay for your flights at the end of the day. Yesterday I didn't even have enough cash to pay the farmer because several people left without paying anything!
Remember everybody on the field pays 5 NZD per person per day for use of the field. This money goes straight to the farmer.
Also SOMEONE STILL HAS A RADIO! Please all check your gear (next time BEFORE YOU LEAVE please!) and RETURN ALL BORROWED ITEMS. The radio's are quite expensive, and if I keep loosing radio's then the 7 NZD per tow won't cover cost anymore!!!
Before you come to the field, don't forget to print, sign, scan and email me the Waiver of Liability and read the Pilot Information before you come!
Please always check http://kiwi-air.co.nz before you come! (In fact I'll probably stop posting here, just check the Kiwi-Air website or twitter @KiwiAir).
