Hi Flyers,
There is another consignment of GRS chutes going back to Galaxy for service soon.
Owners can save thousands by sending their timex chute for service with this batch.
Call Abe 0829260585 to make transport arrangements.

Hi Flyers, There are three ballistic parachutes ready to return from service at Galaxy factory. Anyone that wants a new system from www.galaxysky.cz can save Rthousands by adding his order to this shipment. Importing "dangerous goods" is so difficult and expensive that I will not import one system b...

Hi Flyers, If your GRS needs repacking/service, now is a good time. I am sending a batch of chutes to the Galaxy factory for repack, two per box cheap normal airfreight. (Rockets defueled) They will then return in one big consignment with some new systems as dangerous goods, Sharing this expensive l...

Good evening Bobsmyuncle, Apologies for the delay in responding, I do not check in here every day. Yes, last month I got a repack back, it cost the owner R11700 there and back, all included. Turnaround time is dependent on getting at least another three orders together, otherwise it is very expensiv...

Hi Flyers, A batch of GRS ballistic chutes has just landed and surplus to orders I have the following available: 1 x 2012 GRS 3/450 OUT 190km/h suitable for exposed mounting. R29300 VAT included. 2 x 2011 GRS 3/450 SOFT 190km/h suitable for inside mounting in Quick type trikes, Bantam or such. R2700...

Hi again Flyers, A batch of GRS ballistic chutes has just landed and surplus to orders I have the following available: 1 x 2012 GRS 3/450 OUT 190km/h suitable for exposed mounting.

Hi Anthony, GRS service is every 6 years, lifetime expectancy 30 years. As with the repack cycle which was extended from 5 to 6 years, this may also be extended on experience. At every repack the fabric, seams and stitching of the parachute is minutely examined and at every second service all the ri...

Hi Aerosan, thankful that you are still with us... 200ft is ample for deployment of GRS, their specs say 60m for the 5 and 6 series but they have reports of saves much lower. Also about ballistic chutes specifically for GRS owners: I am getting a batch of GRS together for repacking. Whether I send o...

Exchange rates and ageing stock has me in a vice. I can import new units much cheaper than historical cost price of stock in hand. To recover some of my capital, I am now selling at parity import cost and deducting R2000 for each year in stock. GRS 3/450 Soft B2 190km/h 2010 R26700 (As fitted to Qui...

Hi Pajero, I also drive a Pajero, as does my wife, but I do not think the Mizer is the microlight equivalent, the Beaver 550 is. I have been flying one for 20 years and it is still going strong.... When Bert was building Mizers near Brits I used to land there often (Into the prevailing northernly wi...

GRS ballistic chute Sale! It is good that we seem to be flying safer these days. With fewer scares and perhaps due to the economic downturn, sales of GRS chutes have however dropped and I find myself overstocked on the normally fast-moving units for trikes. I expected the Rand to drop and imported t...

Hi Alkemac, My BRS is gathering dust in the hanger since I found it uneconomical to send for service. On the GRS I subsequently bought (and import ten at a time) the second set of numbers on the decal. after a four-set, is a two-digit year number of manufacture, add six and when it hits the year, ca...

Hi Flyers!
As a regular visitor to Brits I thought a gaggle of us microlighters should accept this invitation.
A similar event at Krugersdorp would likely not invite us, I understand, so we need to set an example.
Come on guys, at least we can land on the numbers, can we not?
FlySafe!
Abe.

Hi, Nkwazi, (yeah, nice place, been there twice in the last year)
Might meet in 125.8 or 124.8 air tomorow 10:00- 15:00? ZS-WKY
It might be quieter than normal.
Abe

Hi Trikenut, Would you know, I learned the answer to your question today. I took apart the rocket of a GRS, of which I am the importer, to send back for service. Now, my memory of instruction at the factory is a bit rusty so I gave Dave Grosvenor who had done it a call, but it was a doddle. It will ...
