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.

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.

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.

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.
