Nick Owen went Solo at Morningstar recently!
He holds a Fixed Wing Comm licence and loves flying Gyro's too. He has done conversions onto the M16, M22 and M24.
Congratulations Nick, short road to your licence now.

Re: Another Proud Gyronaut Solo in the Western Cape
I went Solo today at Fisantekraal(Aerosport). It was such an amazing journey so far and I'm sure it will only get better. Louis at times you had me mad but believe me when I got off the ground today I felt so calm and in control. Perfection doesn't come easy and I understand now why you do what you do best. Thank you Hannie and Winston for all your words of encouragement and not least, Len for taking me on my first flights. Here is to many more happy hours in the sky.

Re: Another Proud Gyronaut Solo in the Western Cape
I need to say a very big thank you to Len for making this license possible, he went out of his way to make an affordable deal and the professionalism shown at his school was outstanding, Len you are a true representative of your sport,another person that played the biggest role is Jabbernaught ( Paul Roux) he layed the foundation for my gyro flying and very kindly supplied me with a plane to do my training on, thanks Paul without you it would not have happened, and finally thanks to Mark for doing my test, tests are allways a strain but your professional and educational approach made it a memorable event.
