YEEHHAAAAAA!!! Welcome back! So glad you have taken this decision Johan. As one of Gyro's best ambassadors ever we need you in our sport. Planning the next long cross-country flight and you and Vic are invited for sure!! Look forward to flying with you again.
Best news ever. *happy dance*

Shockingly sad news! Thanks be to the Gods that it wasn't far worse or even fatal. Let this serve as a warning to all of us. Eben has been around microlights, aeroplanes and gyro's almost all of his life. If it can happen to someone with his vast experience then BEWARE! The Gyro fraternity in the We...

Ho-hum... Lies. McHarge welded NOTHING for eg.
I am reminded why I have Vos on ignore.
Contact CAA (that approved the repairs by issuing a new ATF) if you question my, the AP, AMO and CAA's honesty.
Out.

Where can I find Gerhard Roux's checklist of things to be aware of when buying a Gyro?

Bose A20's with a visor over the mike.
Problem solved.

Little birdie told me this may be very good news.

7 original members of AC have bought the rights and are continuing.
This means the R&D gets written off.
Perhaps we can expect to see AC's at half the price soon.

:shock: kan n Gyro 100 MPH vlieg? :lol: :lol: :lol: =D* =D* Hy kan net nie hoog vlieg nie :lol: Julle is of kak-snaaks of julle verstaan gladnie. ;-) How about 26 663.7 feet amsl? http://www.economist.com.na/headlines/4149-gyrocopter-pilot-sets-new-altitude-record As for the comms, Bose A20's with ...

It is in the 'Aircraft for sale' section but I thought I'd put a pointer here in case you missed it and may be interested.

Great news for our sport! Well done. Now we need to see some work on the rotors; finding the perfect foil shape through the speed differential of the rotor and then to design the optimum size/power/weight ratio. 4 seater type certified are a real possibility now but they have to be faster to be viab...

(^^) Dit is voorwaar goeie nuus vir sport vlieg en gyro's in die algemeen. Die prys van 'n Rotax is disproportioneel duur teenoor wat mens kry daarvoor. Hierdie geforseerde 10jaar overhaul op die Rotax is mos absurd as die masjien niks makeer nie? Ons hou duim vas dat die engin se reputasie homself ...

Gyro's are much easier to handle, far more turbulence-tollerant, and some come enclosed with heating (Chicken or Beef?) usually you need deep pockets. There are only 4 female Gyro pilots in SA that I know of. Sad.

Proud to announce that Mike successfully completed his Flight Test with Mark Bellingan today!
Well done Mike, welcome to the fraternity as a fully-fledged member.

We all look forward to flying with you.

Len & all at Morningstar.
