How to overtake a Gripen...in you car.

Kevin May 28, 2010 Club News No Comments

Two Gripen fighters making their way along Paarden Island this morning from the container section of the harbor. Looking awfully new and sparkly. Naturally going to Ysterplaat Air force base, but where did they come from and what were they doing in the container area? and are they Cape Towns answer to air defense during

Outfoxed...

Kevin May 26, 2010 Club News No Comments

I know there have been many of these around, but this must rate as one of the best. Full scale tug tow glider aerobatics. Just watch the energy retention that is managed throughout the whole display and specifically the 8 point roll and the outside maneuver switches. Stunning!IMHO. Makes me wish I could fly an

What a shocker....

Kevin May 21, 2010 Club News 2 Comments

Took a gander up to Signal Hill this lunchtime to have a look at the Noon day gun going off. 64000 plus shots since the first day these particular cannons were dragged up the hill and stationed there. Have to admit rather embarrassingly that as a Kaapie in all my years I had never ventured

Build ye swabs, build!

Kevin May 17, 2010 Club News No Comments

First off a fantastic birthday wish from all at TOSS to Uncle Bill and the reaching of his 70th birthday accompanied by a fine bash at Dixies on Saturday night that seems to have gone on into the wee hours according to accounts. Well done Uncle Bill, happy birthday and many, many more. Another weekend

Little spaces in space

Kevin May 13, 2010 Club News No Comments

In between pending frontal systems, three naughty school boys cut class and made a dash for the Chappies slope on a Wednesday evening. Well that’s what it felt like anyway. And for the boys was it worth every penny. We were greeted by clean North West lift and had a good 45 minutes of awesome

A break in the day

Kevin May 12, 2010 Club News No Comments

After a somewhat wet week last week, Saturday appeared be likely to be a light, but clear and beautiful day, with Sunday appearing to be a washout of note. So a lot of warbird building got done by a whole bunch of guys over the weekend as Saturday just fizzled into a great nothingness of

Damian's EPP Warbird article

Kevin May 10, 2010 Club News 1 Comment

Hi Guys A nice article as written by Damian on the EPP warbirds he has prototyped for the PSS festival and in his own words… ” Gone and done it yet again! Proposed an idea to my fellow TOSSer’s, not quite realising what it would entail to bring the idea to fruition. The concept of

Kevin May 4, 2010 Club News No Comments

Hi guys This has been discussed on the web already, but to clarify the position here is what the CAA document “AIRAC AIP SUPPLEMENT S044/1006 MAY 2010” on restricted airspace is understood to mean over the duration of the Soccer World cup in SA and specifically for RC activities. All airspace within 5 Nautical miles

Swinters here again

Kevin May 3, 2010 Club News No Comments

Swinter! that bizarre time between the seasons when winter by all odds should have hit with a vengeance and yet we still get prolonged summer conditions with more South Easters than you slap a glider at. Saturday just turned on to a howler of note with the only person to make St.James by all accounts
