Five gyros departed FAKT for a six day trip. I started flying to do trips like this and explore our beautifull country and neighbouring countries. Hopefully some of these photos will motivate someone to start flying or expand his / her flying beyond the cabbage patch. Barring three flat tyres all we...

Congrats Caroline , I was surprise to hear that you are the first, I always though Tinkerbell was the first the way that she commented on my flying Only found out recently that she is not an instructor.

Okflyer
Congratulation on your new toy, hope you enjoy many happy and safe flying hours in it.

Gyros on a sloping runway or crosswind is not a problem, you just need to manage your rotor in the wind.
As long as the slope of the runway is not so severe that if you push your rotor into the wind that the tip touches the upper slope of the runway, but I doubt that it can be that severe.

Noudat Juanita se trippie verby is en ek nie heeldag na 'n "flight logger" sit en kyk nie kan ek op iets anders konsentreer. Johan, oom Peter, ek kan ongelukkig nie hierdie jaar die Gariep byeenkoms reel nie. Die datums vir die Gariep byenkoms is lank terug al vasgemaak en ons het 'n ooskus trippie ...

Tinkerbell landed back at Kitty Hawk very windgat with a greaser of a landing. The flat tyre at Jwaneng did delay her a bit today, but fortunately Piet Meyer was there to help and they changed it. Tinkerbell, I am very proud of you for doing something like this on your own, from planning, organizing...

The flat tyre at Jwaneng did delay her a bit today, but fortunately Piet Meyer was there to help and they changed it. Tinkerbell, I am very proud of you for doing something like this on your own, from planning, orga...

Piet, dankie vir jou hulp vanoggend. Dit is nie lekker om op kantoor te sit en met die tracker te sien hoe sy op die aanloopbaan staan nie, ek het 'n pap wiel vermoed en daar is niks wat ek kan doen nie. Hierdie keer nie omgegee dat sy 'n ridder in sy wit Jabi het nie. Weereens dankie. (-) (-) Ons s...

Ja Rudy, sy het heelpad 'n +- 20 mph kopwind gestoei , maar nou veilig by Ghanzi. Re-fuel en dan laaste skof vir dag.
