Re: ALL SYCAMORE OWNERS

Thank you Baitbird Back and ready to go.Greg,i did send you a PM on the 3rd of June.Obviously i did it wrong,sorry about that.To answer your question about fitting an engine other than a Rotax 9 series to a gyro: 1)All gyro's in this country fall under the amateur build group. 2)No legislation as to...

Re: New Section Request for Powerplants

i Concur Willem.No positive feedback as yet from the agents as to the problems of worn out camshafts and hydraulic lifters on the Rotax engines.Seems like it is prevelent in the newer generation engines,and within a very short lifespan of the engine.i Discussed this with several AP's and this proble...

Re: ALL SYCAMORE OWNERS

Jaco, I will have to converse in a foreign language. Yes,it is the 1800cc motor.Because of the bad reputation (undeserved) i refrained calling it by name.This motor was installed at the then CHAYAIR AVIATION on Sycamore's.For that reason it is legal to install on a Sycamore.This motor is also FAA ap...

Re: SAGPA

John,don't you think that maybe this is part of the problem.The SAGPA committee (and MISASA) worked very hard last year in order to establish an ARO,and maybe neglected to give proper feedback to the members (because they were very busy).What VT is trying to communicate is just that. With a new comm...

Re: SAGPA

John,at least now we know why one person is unhappy with SAGPA.It would be totally sensless attending a meeting that you don't understand.It would be interesting if there are others that are also unhappy,maybe for different reasons.If nobody complains SAGPA will be of the opinion that everything is ...

Re: SAGPA

What i require from SAGPA presently: To determine why gyro pilots are so agitated.There is more to this problem than personality clashes or even brand clashes.Seeing this is within the SAGPA mission statement this matter has to be investigated and rectified.Are we being bombarded with paladium radia...

Re: SAGPA

I can clearly see you have never flown with a map before.The only map for our mudsuckers is one with street names on it.As you know,i have NEVER EVER been lost before,not even without a gps,because of my superior sense of direction.I agree that it should be your own preference to carry a fire exting...

Re: SAGPA

Re: SAGPA

Thinus,as far as the registration document goes,what is the ramp inspector going to do about it if the aircraft is stolen?He might get killed.The radio station licence is a problem of ICASA.Let them do there own dirty work.What are you going to do with a fire extinguisher or a first aid kit in a gyr...

Re: SAGPA

The following question is for Mak.If SAGPA is obliged to supply a list for the ramp inspections,why not make it a functional list.SCRAP:
REGISTRATION DOCUMENT
RADIO STATION LICENSE
MASS & BALANCE
MAP 1500000

Re: SAGPA

Jean-Pierre I am sorry to see that you feel this way about SAGPA and that you feel so strongly towards SAGPA and it’s committee members. You state that some committee members don’t like you and from everyone that posted it is only myself that is on the committee, so therefor I assume that you think...
