New ZEN Gyrocopter Agent - Altair

Postby Gyronaut » Thu Nov 28, 2013 6:04 pm

Congratulations to Marius and Juanita for securing the Exclusive Agency for Zen Gyrocopters in South Africa!

Hooray. This is awesome news for our sport in general and knowing you two, you will do it right.

I wish you every success and you have my support whenever required.

=D* =D*

Len
PS. Will you be in a position/willing to give after-sales type service to existing Xenon owners if required or is a ZEN a radical departure from the Xenon?
Please enlighten us about the Zen.

Thank you to everyone for your support of our new venture. We are excited and nervous...

Yes, Len, we are definitely supporting all existing Xenon or Zen owners. We will keep stock of some select parts but while Marius is the go-to-guy for technical support I think I'll take the nice job of showing off the new machine. Grappie, Marius, jy mag ook vlieg! :lol:

I just want to echo what Tinkerbell said, thanks to everyone for their support and well wishes, not just on the forum, but by SMS and e-mail as well. We really appreciate it.

We would like to thank everyone that came to greet us yesterdays MISASA event and to everyone that showed interest. We are looking forward to display our Zen in all the demo flights coming up.
Last week our demo gyro got airborne under the watchfull eye and assistance of a representative from the factory.
The upgrades from my Xenon to the current Zen is amazing. Herewith a few photos of our display yesterdays as well as the display of our upgraded interior (seats, centre console and instrument panel) we offer our clients.

During the weekends Botswana Air Show we had the honour of the President of Botswana, an accomplished pilot himself, visiting us.
Even though the President didn't take Tinkerbell up on her invitation for a flip, he still took the time and effort to visit.
Here Tinkerbell can be seen explaining the in's and out's of our new interior and instrument panel to his excellency.

I suggest the guy sitting in the left seat doesn't prop-start any more aerries, it seems he's already lost a finger or two!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Ok ok ok… forgive me, just kidding!!

Well done Tinkerbell and Mak for showing His Excellency these fantastic machines.

That is one thing that the rest of the world (especially Africa) can learn and that is how friendly Botswana is to visitors xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx
