To support SARAF comments regarding weight shift. Take a hellicopter (which i think was refered to above as there is a big difference), make a bracket attachment,that does not interfere with rotor movement for the rotors, and hang it so the rotor centre is secure. Move the controls and you will find...

What more can be said? Eben ek is trots op jou oor twee redes 1) You made your point clear without showing a finger to any other specific make of Gyro ( in fact you made us aware from where the gyro originated to what they are today) and 2) for inviting Len on a geniune base to come and fly a RAF in...

Saraf, Blykbaar is dit net die RAF wat in insedente en ongelukke betrokke is. Volgens sekere mense is dit n "flying coffin"! Pleks hy neutraal staan en ander gyro insedente en ongelukke ook op hierdie forum aan die groot klok hang. Ek het vir hom nuus, ek verkies my RAF enige dag bo n ander Gyro vir...

I am not a Guru. Unless there is no option, NEVER, NEVER EVER turn downwind! Turning upwind you will still lose altitude but not as fast as turning downwind and you wont need to sacrifice altitude to regain speed. Upwind will give you the slowest impact speed if decent was properly managed. Same rul...

No but close.

Anybody interested to do a game count for a Farmer in the Groblersdal area? If so I will forward his contact nr to you.

Vertical Tango could not have said it better when comparing the RAF against any other Gyro. What I can tell is that I have trained in a Magni, flown a Ela, bought a RAF and it took another 10 hours off training to convert to the RAF. A RAF pilot will take to any other Gyro like a duck to water but t...

I went back to the N/S gariep forum and if comparing the enthusiasm I noticed the following; By the 7th March 2011 discussions were already at page 8 against page 2 currently. By the 2nd March there were 53 committed names listed against 0 currently. By the 10th March discussions were at page 10. My...

Len, hoop ons sien jou ook in Upington!!

Today is the 06 March 2013 and there is no news regarding the arrangements for N/S meeting and times running out. Not even from the the SAGPA commitee whom I think should play a leading role for such a event. Are we again heading for a non event as in 2012? Is the venue a problem? Come on guys lets ...

Wat gaan aan ? Het jy ophou bou?

Did someone make a video? Would love to see.

Dit is n probleem. Toe my PPL nog geldig was het ek net n risoko bybetaling op n hele paar van my pollise gehad maar ek was ge-cover. Toe verval my PPL en so 2jaar later doen ek toe my GPL en laat weet die verskye instansies van my vlieg situasie. 2 uit die sewe het dit aangeteken en aanvaar op gron...

As ek twee gelyk kon vlieg het ek nog een gekoop! Van waar die special?

Geluk Ferdi. Jy moet fixed points maak en jou geweer daar mount vir die jakkalse, dan skiet jy hulle so in die vlieg moer toe. Jy het verseker die beste masjien vir daai job gekies. Vlieg in sirkels om hulle dan draai hulle hul eie nekke om! Kry net eers ondervinding voor jy te laag begin vlieg. Wee...
