Back into gyro's

After a 4 year sabbatical from gyro's, I bought myself a very nice M24 Orion. Am really pleased with it. It's Len's previous gyro, ZU-RJR. Flew her down from Jnb 2 weeks ago. Took off from Springs in a howling wind, with the mine dumps leaving a trail of dust. Very comfortable trip in an enclosed gyro. Stopped over at Gariep. Total flying time was 11H40. Bit quicker than the usual 1:50 we normally do it in the Airbus A320! Makes me really appreciate how far aviation has come.
Always liked open gyro's, but not being battered by the wind is great. Having the flexibility to take the doors off for those 40C days we get here in the Cape is a big plus. Overall, a stunning gyro.
Why has Gyro Talk been so quiet? Have people lost interest in learning, and sharing info?
