Eagle1 ready for take-off

After what seems like a lifetime my Eagle is finally flying.
She has a 33ft alluminium rotor with a 914 Rotax (Turbo)
We were doing touch and go's at 6000ft (airfield altitude), with a pilot weight of 200kg (2 up) and no problem.
She is painted in white pearl and looks awesome.
I'm very stoked to finally be flying - now is the training part ....... a little different to my trike but loving it. Gyro's are truly the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
If this works there should be some pics of my baby.....

Good on you lads I saw you at Rustenburg while you were loading and I was loking for that parking spot for the Bantam.

Looks awsome

First time I see a prop spinner fitted at the back

I suppose this is purely cosmetic

Currently hangering at a private strip in Machadadorp during my training. I will then start the task of looking for a new home for EIW (JHB north somewhere).

Didn't you know that a "faster goer" spinner makes your aerie fly quicker

- It is purely cosmetic but looks cool on my fighter plane.

Agent - if I remember correctly you were desperate to put your baby to bed so that the beers could start

- thanks for the compliments lets just hope my flying does her justice.

Very nice looking "Sick-or-more"

You should get Ranger to engrave that dash. White dash with black engraved writing would look good

He has a CNC cutting bussiness and he does all the boys dash's down here. I'll try to post some pics when I get some.

Here is one example. This one he did for gadget. What you don't see clearly is all the writing is etched into the aliminium. Very neat.

Just give him a cardboard sample and viola
