Len! The purpose of this wasn't to conduct a discussion about wire strikes but out of concern for the people involved. Secondly gyros arent the only aircraft using our airways. I came across a report stating 117 wire strikes between 1990 and 2008 with 32 fatalities. I reckon that's counts for a lot.

That is fantastic! Great news indeed.

Thank you for the info, White Eagle. My thoughts and prayers are with them. Glenn I agree ,yet another. I'm a still a student on gyro and watch these accident happen a lot. Not great to see people getting hurt this way let alone in any kind of accident.

Just got more and the right info this time! It was a guy from Gordonsay that was involved in a accident in Namibia. That is as much info as I have right now.

Anybody know anything about an apparent gyro down in Somerset West? I heard a gyro went into the powerlines and it was fatal.

I stayed at Kagga Kamma the other night and believe they have a landing strip close. They fly guest in on a regular basis from Fisantekraal in a 210. Beautiful place lovely accommodation.

Well done! Very many happy hours of flying

Dankie vir jou Thinus vir die gedagte en die uitnodiging! Pity we couldn't hang around longer ourselves.
Till nextime

So this is not new but I was again quite surprised by what we get charged for things, not just that but the difference in price from one dealer to the next. I offered to shop for radio transceivers for a group of us after a radio course and found the price difference between dealers for the same rad...

I went Solo today at Fisantekraal(Aerosport). It was such an amazing journey so far and I'm sure it will only get better. Louis at times you had me mad but believe me when I got off the ground today I felt so calm and in control. Perfection doesn't come easy and I understand now why you do what you ...
