Ek is nie so vertoud met die instrukteurs in KZN nie maar ek dink Roelf Palm het 'n Gyro Test Pilot rating.

Kontak hom gerus by 0826537475.

Vertel ons wat jy wil doen, ons is nuuskierig....

Ek sit met 'n First of type gyro en volgens wet moet 'n " grade 2 test pilot " die eerste 2 en laaste uur van die 40 uur "proving flight hours" flieg. Die persoon sal dan ook n "check ride" saam my doen om my uit te teken om die ding te flieg.
Dit is noggal verstreerend want ek vlieg die ding amper daagliks, maar julle sal maar moet wag totdat ek die ATF in my hand het voor ek begin fotos en info post.
Ek wag nou al amper 5 jaar om die projek af te handel. Will niks doen om dinge nou op te *&^ nie.

Dankie vir die info en geduld mense.
Cheers Coen.

I know that Johan von Ludwig at Wagtail also holds a Test pilot rating for Gyro's. He has flown a number of "first of" designs, I think his latest was the Tractor gyros they are playing with. I know he is a bit strict with specs and workmanship and will not just get into something to see if it can fly, but if it looks good and feels good he is probably the one.

Gyrofan moenie te opgewonde raak nie ou, dit is net 'n kit wat ek van die States af ingebring het maar nou al lankal wag om die ATF met CAA uit te sorteer. Dit is 'n kort opsomming van 'n baie baie baie baie baie baie baie laaaaaaang storie.
