Re: Western Cape GYRONUTS/ PILOTS / STUDENTS ETC

Hi Guys Sorry for not posting anything on the forum as I do not visit it too often (must admit that all the negative stuff put me off for a while). I have been communicating to Paul via Email and will definitely be there if this relentness winter will let me get over the mountain (wanted to go flyin...

Re: AmericanAutogyro

As far as I can tell one cannot have both the rotor stabiliser and the H-stab. My logic (not maths!) tells me they will work against each other. Wonder if all those that fitted the H-stab had an R-stab? One thing for sure, the R-stab corrects the 'incorrect' response the old Bensen (which I flew for...

Hi Volki Thanks for these! Great to see some new innovations on the gyro scene - the folding rotors particularly - any videos of it flying somewhere?

Bluetooth Comms While Flying

Hi guys I have to admit that I do enjoy gadgets while flying. I recently installed a fuel flow meter which is old hat to most and I wished I did it a long time ago but perhaps this one is new to some of you. I was looking for a bluetooth system to have cell phone comms and music while flying without...

Re: EXCITING NORTHERN ZULULAND FLY IN.2009

Hi there There is a group of us, 4 possibly 5 gyros, from the Wetsern Cape coming to this fly-in. This will be the longest trip I have done and looking forward to it immensely!
