Hey guys, this one helped me out http://www.basair.com.au/index.php/online-resources/decoding-a-taf.html pretty basic type thing, i did find more out there in cyber land but all seemed very similar, helped me out when trying to get my head around the stuff, hope it helps here now....Eric

Hey Red, I am only confirming all of the above, be prepared, stay calm, make sure you feel right, watch your speed, watch your heights and control it in, i had heaps of fun getting it right but once i got the head right and just calmed and made sure my preparation was right it stated to come much easier i know look forward to the landings even in not so good wind, there always a test.....Eric

Good stuff....

Good work D, nice easy flight to start, well done....Eric

Well he's got to Mt Isa, seems to be doing short hops at this stage, weather probably will be a little different for him, but after what he's been through he'll handle it.....

Yes it does amaze we can have doom and gloom but can't put something on the news whether on the tube or in print about something that someone has done that could be considered so inspirational doesn't matter whether you fly or not, this is a feat and a half by a person who has had part of his body made not useable to him, poor effort by our media gods :DirtDOG: .....Eric

That's great Mark, i am sure any assistance will be great.... Eric

Hey Mark, I have actually written to the 7 network Sunrise morning show but nothing has surfaced from that so i am not sure how news worthy some people think a story has to be before they follow it up. I am happy to do more but it would be good for others to write as well the more the merrier also might get some action if they think more people might be interested.....Eric

Dave has landed in Darwin as at about 3.13pm this afternoon 9th August, an incredible effort He's really started to push it since getting the craft fixed up, i have not heard anything at this time, but really with a near busted computer i was not expecting much, hopefully we will hear something soon and i will post whatever he sends to this thread... Eric

Hi All, i have popped a new thread up. Dave Sykes has Landed ion Oz. I thought now that he was here we may as well go with that one. Have a look for continued info at that thread....

I have started a new thread to let everyone know that Dave has officially landed, i have contacted him and let him know to pop onto the site and have a look and possibly leave a message etc, there is a minor issue that his computer sounds like it is having a melt down so i am not sure what if anything i may here, but i will paste it to this landed thread if i do get anything from him.

Dave, if you get a chance to see this, a big WELL DONE from everybody here :aussie:

Eric

Ian, have sent Dave a message, included this site details i have let him know of a couple of options in case he is short of time but he has been having huge computer issues so i am not even sure i will here anything, but if i do i will do paste here for everybody to read...... Eric:clap:

Go to his site and he has a contact detail area, click and give him your best...http://www.soloflightglobal.com/

Will do my best Ian, have just sent him one to say good luck with flight in morning, will wait until i know he's on ground and send another, no problems.... Eric

Email from Dave last night, confirms he is leaving for Darwin Monday, have wished him all the very best.....Eric

I use a GoPro mounted on the control bar and the program is the updated version of Apple iMovie, pretty easy to use and wasn't really all that costly, i appreciate that you liked it thanks. Eric
