John had his first flight in Gyro

Postby greg vos » Mon Dec 05, 2016 7:02 pm

Well today was a very special day I had the company of the best Engineer on African soil drop in at FAFK to do some inspections and make some fine adjustments to RDY.

Naturally I rewarded him with flight after some tuning, he commented that she fly's better than any R44 I have taken him in :mrgreen: for me that was just a great compliment considering where it came from.

So us gyro guys are really making 'in' roads to the guys who say they will never fly a Gyro Copter... (^^)
And what a great day for flying In Cape Town it was today!!

maybe you need to jazz up the flight a bit - he is not showing the characteristic "gyro grin" yet - do it again and again till he grins :wink:
