  • Hi everyone,

     

    Is anyone in the Gauteng and Limpopo or any other area interested in a UAV "fly-in" where we can share information and expertise and enjoy the company of likeminded people? I have an area available for such an event in the Naboomspruit area with accommodation for 120 persons(so you can bring the wife and kids who can play, fish, cycle, gamedrive etc while you are flying) @ approximately R 100.00 per person per night.

    If shown enough interest we can decide on the specific dates over a weekend and I can start the flying field registration process with SAMAA (just to be on the safe side).
