" Kyk hoe kyk sy vir my !! " Stientjie smile breed...sy like !! (^^) (^^) Vic is more concerned about figuring out the sun shield. Maybe to see if it pulls right down to cover the entire windscreen so he can give her a "druk" away from the prying lens of the camera. :shock:
Hey Vicki ! Enjoy your Cavalon and the side by side flying with the wyfie. You two look so at home and cosy in that cabin. If Christine now comes up with any excuse not to fly with you... :roll:
Safe flying my pal ! Looking forward to that first trip as soon as my Calidus arrives. The wait up to now has not been fun. Maybe I receive a "troosprys" foto from the factory today. :(

After a long and carefull consideration and lots of pressure from my brother (condor ) , we spend some time at the factory in Germany and got some flying done . Our gyro's are identical in colour and equipment , and we are looking forward to them arriving in SA , hopefully towards the end of the year . There will be two more in the container another white calidus and grey one. Our two and the grey ones are the first to have the tinted canopies thanks to a very well known gyro pilots influence vhpy .

Cant WAIT (^^)

Me tinks Magni must make a plan for a enclosed tandum, they are losing lots of sales! and owners to AutoGyro.

Ok... back to tandem again. Enclosed again. Calidus.
She is in the container and on its way. (^^)
Going to be interesting to see how much of the sun is blocked by the tint.
Now for the wait... vhpy
