Ja ons stadsjaapies kort maar daai horisontal tail.

Ons is nie so tough soos julle Upington se boere nie.

No puedo hablar español, or french or whatever other languages the site offers...
Can't understand a thing, the site doesn't go to English unless I am being doff?

The first red words looks like an anti nicotine campain! (**)
Maybe they want to get away from the "smoke and fly" thing, who know? :?

Good post. Right price! Gyro flying at microlight price. Climbing at 1800 f/min for the 582. Very short take off. Sorry for Magni and Ella but you have serious competition now. Us normal plebs can now get back in the sky

Hi Lieb

Why not 3 Rotors .

1) Hanger space 3 rotors takes up more space
2) The cost of 3 Rotors would be more a lot more expensive that 2.
3) It is difficult to tame the harmonics of a 3 rotor systems the vibrations resonates and increases. I don’t know a lot about this , but has read an article.

The prototype of the new Cloud dancer Gyro have 3 rotors that are foldable and save hanger space.
