Jeantree, you know what it is like, standing in the que...

Braam did his best to get the build number before he left for Venezuela, so we are waiting with great expectation for it to happen anytime now.
I am hoping to fit the new exhaust during the week, get the dual inspection done. Then as soon as the build number is released
we can register and the ATF to follow.

Ek is vrek nuuskierig om te weet hoe hierdie Gyro gaan doen teenoor die ander op ons mark

Ek moet erken, ek is skrikerig vir die UFO nadat ek op die aanloopbaan met dit gery het. Het mooi opgelyn, stadig vet gegee,
bly in die middel van die runway.... en toe max throttle....
Na 3 sekondes was die ASI 60mph .... Sonder die rotor het die UFO versnel soos n rocket.

Johan von Ludwigh reken die versnelling sal nie so agresief wees met die rotor op nie, wat verstaanbaar is. Dit was nog steeds n belewenis
om met n driewiel Buzz Light year na to boots.

Sodra ons airborne raak met die UFO sal die foto's hier gesien kan word.

Nee, ek het vanmore bevestiging gekry dat Braam by CAA die bounommer gekry het by Klause, registrasie volg en dan die ATF

Congrats Keep us posted

[MPL Pilot]

Well now. after lots of work from Johan von Ludwigh, Braam Hechter and Klause, the UFO has been registered

Registration number ZU-RGG.

Next fase would be ATF, and Braam is paving the way already. There is a great possibility the UFO will fly before this year is out

Will keep you posted.

Gaan jy met die UFO Gariep?

As daai UFO 'n ATF het, het hy nie 'n keuse nie!!

Ek sal seker maak daar is fotos en n video ook

Ek is seker die UFO sal Gariep toe gaan, net 40 proving hours, en soos my g@t heuk sal dit voor die einde van die jaar opgevlieg wees. Dalk n bietjie optemisties maar
wie weet wat het Johan von Ludwigh in sy mou.
Ek is nou besig met n ander instrument paneel, dit sal more in wees. Al wat oor is, radio en comms en n goeie skoonmaak dan is die UFO Maandag weer terug op Wagtail
vir duel inspeksie.

[fransstrydom]

Ek kan nie wag nie.Opwindende tye
franss

Dankie vir al die ondersteuning

I have to mention, Geoff Price from Acorn Industries NZ (manufacturer of the UFO) has really made a big effort to get the UFO certified. If it was not for his
patience and commitment, registration would not have been possible. Thinking back, the hours we spend on the phone and e-mails, getting the documentation here,
we kept him very busy, often at odd hours of the day.
Thank you Geoff

All the pilots and non pilots, have a blessed festive season, and a great new year

Ai, the suspence is killing me. I heard they actually received Proving flight yesterday and Johan started putting her through her steps. She actually lifted her wheels for the first time late afternoon....
Well done guys,

I think old Pierre is so excited and tired from all the driving, working and tension that he did not get around to posting a comment...I can understand
