This is what happens when a KISS turns into a HUG!!










Johanns plan was to maiden Red Bull then box her for Hermanus..............ja right!! Well conditions were just too good for that, so we flew again and drew a crowd in the process. Morne was not going to be outdone, so he launched his Corrostang. He and Johann flew some AWESOME formation sorties until a kiss turned into a hug and the two Warbirds hit the deck in full tilt. The Stang lost her scoop and the Mig sustained damage to her left leading edge. Both have since been repaired and look forward to the next patrol of the Maitland shoreline. Sean Oelofse.


Red Bull got some air over her wings. Showers of blessing as it was spizzling. But well worth the wait. She flew beautifully!! Again, well done Johann!! Sean Oelofse.

Power Mig





This is one of my favorite power planes. It is powered by a .39 Tiger Shark engine. She is very qick and has no bad habits. Flies as smooth as silk. Only 3 channels throttle ailerons and elevator.
