Erikflygare Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thank You. I fly from Borås, about 60 km east of Gothenburg. From there I can reach eight fields in twenty minutes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Perry Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hiya Erik. . . . .my youngest Daughter is going to Sweden on Christmas Eve for a few days to stay with her Partner's family in Harljunga. . . .North of Gothenburg. Her partner is a Swedish Australian, . . .ie, he was born in Sweden, but grew up in Australia, so has a very pronunced Aussie accent. . .and he says, although he speaks a little bit of his native language, his pronunciation of Swedish is going to be BAAAAD. . . . he learned ot from the internet, as he left there at the age of 2 Yrs. . .and his family moved to Australia. . . . . Apparently the town they are going to is famous for the manufacture of "Chains" and it has the largest maker of Cider in Sweden. . . . .that means that my Daughter Lea will really enjoy herself, as she finds Sweden a little "quiet" and. . ."Unchallenging" . . .so the Cider part will possibly be an asset. . .I've no doubt she will want t go and have a look at where they make the stuff. . . . .AND being her Father's Daughter,. . .will, no doubt want to try it out. . . . . Anyway mate,. . .welcome to the forum and please keep us informed about what you are flying and upload some videos of flying in Sweden if you can. . . . . Cheers. . . .

facthunter Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Welcome Eric .Must be getting cold and the shortest day just gone a few days ago. How do you fly this time of year? We had a few days of 40 degrees C just gone. Horrendous. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikflygare Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi Phil, It's a small world... Herrljunga is just ten minutes away from were my plane is hangared. They have a small grass strip there, probably closed now. It's been raining for month. The Herrljunga cider is great, You can even bring your own apples there and they "cider it"for you. If your daughter finds Herrljunga a bit boring she must visit "little London". Thank you for your welcomening letter. Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikflygare Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi Nev, We also have temperature problems but the other way around. I have read a lot of threads about issues with Jabiru engines, often due to cooling problems. I have to tape all cowling inlets to keep the temperature normal. At this time of year we just have a couple of ours with daylight and VMC maybe a third of that time. So not much flying this time of year.

Erik Hi again Erik,. . . they were only in Sweden for four days, and most things were closed for the Christmas Break,. . . couple of Photos here. . . The Cider place - closed unfortunately . . . No 2 Daughter and town map. . . Looks like quite a small town. . . . It began to snow during their last few hours, it looks like a typical Christmas Card view doesn't it ? ? Beautiful. . . They really enjoyed it anyway. . . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikflygare Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Thank you all, Phil, Glad your daughter enjoyed her stay, next time if she wants more action I think Herrljunga in december isn't the place to be... Sweden is pretty simular to other west european contries but we have more space. Half the FIR is mountain are, like Oz? Offcourse I know Klaus☺. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
