Re: Single seater gyros
Hi Guys Ok I'm going to play Devils advocate here and go into a little more detailed response Both the Magni M18 and Sportcopter Vortex are great gyros if you weigh up to about 80kg maximum and you can utilize the Rotax 582 version of either, then it's an affordable option. However once you take the...

In SA thou you will probably want to go down one of two paths as I believe both of these types have already been registered and approved there. Sportcopter Vortex Magni M18 However if you lived in the great land Down Under you choices w...

Re: Sythetic or not
Hi All Skybound, I am a little perplexed by your logic. If what your saying is true, then I guess every single late model Car, motorcycle, boat etc in Cape Town, Durban and alike are in serious trouble. Im really interested in hearing on what basis that you think all synthetic fluids are hydroscopic...

Re: Sythetic or not
Hi All Nacho - Dont panic and stick with your choice of going to a synthetic oil, you will have few regrets if any, if you can justify the extra expense in comparison to a mineral grade oil then you dont have a problem. There are numerous types of synthetic oils available on the market today, the mo...

Re: News from DownUnder
Hi All Hope the cool of the SA winter hasn't curbed all your flying habits to much. Okay to answer a few questions Mak - no real type conversion needed for me on this machine, my first gyro was of the same configuration many years ago. Just a matter of re familiarizing myself, don't have the luxury ...

News from DownUnder
Hi all Ok it seems I had better take some time and come out from under the rock I've been hiding under and say hi to everyone back in SA. I have been watching and lurking behind the scenes for maybe a little too long. Well I've been back in OZ for nearly three months and to be honest it's taking a l...
