Hodders Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Ok, I'm very much still a novice, but the idea of flying over a stretch of water scares me silly. The idea of an engine failure where you have no option but to land on water with a 25kg metal lump strapped to you - eeek. Even with flotation devices I still wouldn't fancy it. The Philippines would be an amazing location to fly over, but I would always want to be close to land. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatPux Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I was there in the Spring, meeting daughter number two on her travels. Booked an Airbnb in Bohol, ended up at Kim's Garden at Anda Beach. Its run by a German -Joakim Katz who flies a Fresh Breeze Trike, He's always got plans afoot for flying round the islands! Although when we had got there he'd just got back from some trial lessons on 3 axis microlight, so maybe flying the PPG less now. Yes.......he is a nutter, but a very nice guy!! https://flic.kr/p/MJ4DXh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
