Re: Flying Cape Town

The pictures are awesome. Can someone please recommend best mounting position on the gyro for scenic flights from 500 - 1000 ft agl. Which camera would be the best choice - GoPro etc? Can one remotely take stills from the GoPro or only screen grabs? Any other info would be appreciated. Thanks, Lion.

Re: News from DownUnder

Hi T-bird,

I was in Brisbane a few years ago - also went to Caboolture and met the gyro guys there. Also met a long time friend Peet Pretorius ex Crosswinds (Tarlton airfield West Rand Area) owner who lives near there now for many years already.

Re: Help needed-building Gyro's in SA

I must say that the limited dealings I have had of late with the CAA, they have been an absolute pleasure. Quick, friendly and professional.

In my opinion we are fortunate in SA to have a contact person as Braam Hechter who goes out of his way to assist wherever he can.
