Trial Flight Pictures

We are currently trying to get an easy way to get trial flight pictures up on the web for first-timers to view after the event. Work in Progress, but it looks like we will use Picasa in some way and drop the code onto an area on the Flyni site.

For the geeks amonst you, pictures are taken with a Nikon D90 with a 10.5mm fisheye lens (to get the wide angle) Here's some pics below from a couple of the good days in September.

Sling now in Sri Lanka

James and Mike are in Sri Lanka at the minute, so not far till they get home.
Have a look at this video, taken from their time at the Annual EAA event at Oshkosh

Mike Blyth - Round the world flight

Mike is quite a famous Microlight pilot, and has done various trips mostly in a flexwing trike. He also runs an aviation business in SA and has been developing a new aircraft with James Pitman.

They left today for a round the world flight, check out their website and keep track of what they are up to. They had quite a send off by the looks of it earlier today, lots of wellwishers and press. There is a google map that tracks their progress, they should be quite a bit towards the west coast of Africa by last light. Some pics below, and lots more on their website

Cheers, Victor
