Stolen Equipment





Here are some photos of items stolen from Torsten at an armed robbery at Irene recently.

Torsten says:

The plane is a: 1.5m wingspan high wing trainer, yellow, D-XMEP, OS FP40 engine, Graupner C508 servos.

The radio is a: Graupner/JR MC-22S (I am sending you a catalog picture, the switch configuration on mine is slightly different)

Since I brought both from Germany, the plane and the radio should be unique in South Africa.

If anyone sees these, or is offered them for sale, or whatever, please get in touch with Torsten. His email address is: t.scheidt@optronics.zeiss.com

75th anniversary of the DC3 -- Andre Killian

It will be the 75th anniversary of the DC3 next year - not sure whether anybody is organising anything to celebrate, but maybe we should start stirring to see whether we can get someting going.


Maybe we should see if we can get a few models at Zwartkop Scale or Oudtshoorn for a flypast next year. Would also be interesting to know how may models of the DC3 are actually flying. Has anybody got any other ideas on this topic, and should we persue this matter further?


Regards,


Andre
