@@grantcaprice2902 thanks. Takes time. The channels biggest fan is me! I do it for my memories.

@@finnadekeditz do it

@@kwaailight Thanks. Still worth popping in to see the place.

@@timothyirvine2842 absolutely! A very special little remote spot!

@@kwaailight you are right. One of the longest runways in the world for high and hot conditions for big heavy planes. I googled and someone said the NASA thing is an urban legend. I like the story though.

@@timothyirvine2842 I would not be surprised if the runway DID serve as an alternative/emergency one for the shuttle, but it was not built for that purpose.

It’s called Morningstar and it’s just to the north of CapTown international, in fact under the approach to runway 19.

The airfield called Morningstar. It is under the approach for runway 19 at Cape Town. Flight sim shows houses where there are hangars!

we told Ian to make us look good.

Let’s make a plan. That way I know your Dad will check her very very well. In fact when I bought ICE in the pre purchase inspection Damon said, ‘I would let me kids fly in it.’ Now I need to put that to the test 😁

@@timothyirvine2842 Just let me know when you are planning on going up and i will be very keen on joining you. 😎

I’ll settle for a thorough annual. 🙂

Hi Jude, you checking up on me. I always enjoy landing at Cape Town. The runway is super long, over 3km. I try fly as efficiently as possible so you will see two things, I ask the controller if I can ‘plan for Charlie’. That’s the second intersection which means I land deep so I don’t land on the numbers and taxi forever holding up departing traffic. Second thing is my flaps. My speed is higher than usual as I come in to approach on final, again just to be efficient. It’s too fast for full flaps, so I descend and fly just above the runway. As the speed bleeds off I then add flaps - you can see how late I put full flaps in the video. Hope you enjoying your flying and making great videos.

I was taught taxi out on the lowest tank. Then as you stock check area clear, brakes holding and change tanks. Then do the run up and all the check on the tank you going to take off on. That should be enough time to pick up an issue with fuel. It should be enough time to pick up something like water etc.

Its always a full flap landing with me. I tried a spin solo (after practicing with an instructor in the back), and I just couldn't get the spin to develop. I need someone in the back - Grace was good ballast. My RV is as simple as it gets. Fixed pitch prop and as I operate mostly at sea level its enough for me. The 8 is the best! enjoy.

@@timothyirvine2842 Thanks Tim...have the same set up as you. Have to fly with 25# of sand in the aft baggage to lighten the stick forces when flying solo.

I always land full flap … I went back and looked at the video and checked against another one - you are right, that was not full flap! I had one plane land ahead and put flaps on base. I obviously didn’t fully extend on final. I have to hold my switch in as the flaps extend. Thanks for pointing that out!

@@timothyirvine2842 Keep in mind I was just curious and not trying to be critical.

@@jcheck6 I appreciated the observation. The videos are for the memories, but also for me to learn. I sometimes film stuff just for me and then analyse it afterwards. Good way to learn and its interesting what I pick up.

The RV's sell themselves!

You time your flight well Jude. Sunset was beautiful. I heard you and Jaco enjoying the Delta 200 and Blouberg. It was a beautiful evening and good to meet you.

“the old ap” what’s ap Tom?

Its an RV8, similar but a bit bigger than the 4.

The Insta is a very cool camera.

It’s a small town called Springbok. It’s in the Northern Cape, in South Africa and is close to the Namibian border. The area is known for its mining including copper, granite and other commodities. It’s a beautiful area that’s gets it’s water piped from the Orange Rive some 100k’s to the north.

Yes it is SA. I’m based in Cape Town and a number of us flew north for about 1 hour 45 minutes, which takes us to the northern Cape. The area we landed it called the Richtersveld and is close to the Namibian border. It’s truly is beautiful scenery.

@@timothyirvine2842 Interesting , hello from a guy in Canada! I once read a book called " My Heart is Africa" About the experiences of a guy who flew his Cassna 180 across the Atlantic via Azore's from Canada and spent two years volunteering for Doctor's without Borders. He flew down that way as well as all over Africa, if you find that book I recommend it.

The audio records on just one of the cameras so it makes editing quite a bit longer. Sometimes that battery dies or the mic isn't plugged in properly, so it doesn't always work, but when it does its good.

Yip ... get on with it.

It’s all just practice to get better. Full of errors, that’s what the video is for, but we getting better. There was more but my battery went flat and Johan’s camera came unstuck.

Yip a wheeler with tail low. Works best for me.
