Bonzai Bell in the air at last

[BONZAI BELL]

Hi guys
My name is Andre Swanepoel(Swannie) .Recently purchased a M-22 , and started my training at Springs airfield with Renier as my instructor.Done a couple of hours , then the world cup brought my training to a halt. Decided to do my exams over this period, and completed it succesfully.(what a relief).Resumed training in August, and on 20 hours, went for my first solo on wednesday this week.can still not beleive how calm i was on that first circuit. Thursday went for two circuits , and took Bonzai Bell back to her resting place Hanger21.

Since i started training , i have met a couple of Gyronauts , all nice guys and very helpfull. Thanks to all for all the assistance. I hope to fly with you guys soon. So far it has only been exciting , and i am enjoying every moment.And a special thanks to Renier , my instructor.

Looking forward in meeting all you guys.

This is me: Swannie & Bonzai Bell signing out.

Baie dankie aan al my nuwe Kaapse vriende vir die verwelkoming sover. Hoop om julle almal eendag in die nabye toekoms te ontmoet.Ek het vanoggend weer vier touch and goes gedoen, toe eers geland vir n smoke break. Toe weer in die lug en toe nog 8 circuits gedoen. Ek is op die oomblik baie opgewonde.Ek dink Renier het my goed geleer,want ek is baie gemaklik.

Swannie,

Geluk met daai solo, die Bonzai met sy/haar nuwe Decals lyk pragtig.

Vanmore in die Circuit was ek student en Rainier as my instrukteur in n ELA en dan Swannie wat vlieg ent voor ons. Dan nog 3 ander Gyro's in die circuit gewees, maar met al die traffic en vaktore kon ek hoor hoe Renier spog met Swannie wat so goed cope en daai radio protokol wat so spot-on is. Geluk dan aan Rainier ook vir nog n baie suksesvolle solo aflewering.

Vele voorspoed en pret!

Baie geluk met jou solo en pragtige gyro.

Hoop jou solo cross country beplanning sluit 'n Kitty Hawk ontbyt of koffie in.

[BONZAI BELL]

Baie dankie Mak. ek moet eers nog n bietjie ondervinding opdoen. die oomblik as ek reg is sien ek julle vir n koffie en ontbyt by Kittyhawk. sal iemand kry om saam te vlieg. ek is op die oomblik soos n ou met n wit belt in karate: weet net genoeg om op jou m**r te kry.

Just got my go-Pro cam last night. Hoping to post a video soon.
