Rob's Tsotsi maiden flight.

After only 2 Weeks of building  his Tsotsi and installing his RC gear,Rob and myself set out to go and fly at the BERG field today.
True to Tsotsi tradition and in windy(25 km/h) condition it flew of the drawing board with no problem at all,
and after some elevator trimming and 3 flights later Rob was comfortable cashing the fast moving Thermals down wind.

Unfortunately left my camera ant home so could not take any in flight pictures. I manage to take these pictures after we got home.

Processing the Tsosi centre panel

Here are some pictures of the un-bagging, cleaning up and trimming the centre panel of a 2 meter Tsotsi.

Join the Tsotsi building group.

I am currently arranging a building group consisting of a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 persons to build Tsotsi's over a period of 4 to 5 weeks. One night or weekend afternoon session per week is all that you will need to complete all the basic components. Not only will you get your Tsotsi but also learn how to work with modern composite (epoxy/glass) technologies.
To join this course and once the dates are set you will pay a deposit and on completion of the course the final amount. Father and son teams are welcome.

The cost of the course is R1500.00. Should you require more information you can e-mail me at
