Ek sal met die Sycamore kom as jy wil he^ ek moet. Kanse is dalk dat Paul met sy masjien wil invlieg en as hy nog nie solo (out of the circuit) is nie sal ek seker saam met hom In vlieg. Ek gaan beslis nie in ry nie!
Hoekom vra jy?
Hi Len,

Ek wil bietjie jou Sycamore van nader bekyk en indien moontlik gaan vir 'n flip. Wil bietjie kyk hoe lekker hy is :lol:

Sien jou dan.

Hi Guys

Sorry for not posting anything on the forum as I do not visit it too often (must admit that all the negative stuff put me off for a while). I have been communicating to Paul via Email and will definitely be there if this relentness winter will let me get over the mountain (wanted to go flying this morning, light south easterly, fueled up, pre-flight and then rain....). Len - I am looking forward to some good gen - has it been decided that we will do some pratical stuff afterwards?

Looking forward to it.

Nick

Wish we could be there!!!!!!!!!!

Jabi430, congratulations with your election to the SAGPA committee as the Public Relations and Events Coordinator (South).

Your guys are lucky to have such a enthusiastic gyronaught in your area (not because he is my brother)

Please report back on this event.

I agree Condor! The fact that he happens to be your brother has nothing to do with it.
Congratulations Paul, perhaps now we will begin to see some more benefits from being members of SAGPA!
Looking forward to it.

Paul is a refreshing shot in the arm for Gyro's in the Western Cape and he certainly can rely on my full support.

Hi Guys

While i am not a fully fledge GYRO pilot yet (jetranger will still turn me into one , But time and the Western cape weather has made progress slow) , I joined the gyro community because i wanted to be part of guys that love flying and is more sociable than the fixed wing pilots .

I am not the best technical guy , but for that we have Dave , Jonathan and Len amongst others to help .

My job will be to make sure that we have fun , get to know each other , Have regular get togethers , AND TRAINING (First one coming up 31 October ) .

The biggest challenge would be to be for me to be the GOPHER between the GYRO pilots / Passengers and Friends and SAGPA and for that i need the help of everybody .

All of you have my Email address , please use it .

Hope to see you all at FASH on he 31 October 2009

Paul

Paul, some trike pilots have expressed an interest to attend but think they won't be allowed to land there.
What is the situation with trikes at FASH? Verboten?

WHAT SAYS WHO ????????

They are more than welcome if they adhere to the procedures , They can mail me and i will send them the same email as that i send to the gyro pilots .

Everybody is welcome , I just need to know the amounts as the chef will kill me if thousands arrive without him knowing about it .
