Marius and I had a short discussion last light on this issue and it was decided that we are going to get it going again this year at Gariep starting 23 May 2014 to 25 May 2014. What we do want is number ie who is interested in attending, fuel requirements, accomodation, meals, etc. Please pm me if y...

Well done Johan, Len and Weidie. You guys deserved your awards and you worked damn hard for them. Well done.

Kiting is where the wind is strong enough to lift the whole gyro up while it is anchored to the ground. As far as actually flying the gyro untethered or as a glider it can be done provided that the C of G is correct. It will not have any distance as it will behave very much like a standard gyro unde...

Hello Callie. I do have some somewhere, but will have to track them down. There are also photos of it "kiting" in the wind with one up and the instructor on the ground.

Hello t-bird. Looks like you guys are enjoying yourselves. Yes we also used a gyro glider on the pans in the 90's to train prospective pilots and it really was a lot of fun.

Hello Vertical Tango. The wording of one affiliation is maybe so and it might cause arguments, HOWEVER, when your aircraft is inspected by an AP, and something goes wrong (due to own or AP negligence), your claim on insurance with the Aero Club will NOT be entertained if you flew ie a microlight and...

Kevin phoned and e-mailed me this morning and we have the final go ahead regarding the registration letters. 150mm on the vertical stab. PLEASE GET YOUR GYRO LEGAL NOW. It has taken a long time to get the powers that be to agree. Let us now play ball. Regards Eric Good day all of you involved in fin...

Yep, I know - I am putting my foot into it big time but it is time we do get together on MISASA side as well as SAGPA side to discuss common problems that do arise in our sections. They are:- 1. We all go to seminars etc and info is given to us on a "one way" street without us, the AP's or Instructo...

Spoke to Kevin at Aero Club yesterday about this issue. Told me to wait until it is writing, however the CAA made the suggestions, so I guess it is a formality from here on for the commissioner to sign the approval. As I have it we agreed on the 150mm on the vertical stab and 300mm on the belly. Reg...

Hi Leo How are you still keeping way "down under"? I understand why the Z is left off your registration. There is a hell of a lot of water between you and your next neighbour that has a different prefix to his registration. Hear we are in flying distance to any one of our neighbouring states with a ...

Hi Pieter I am not going to get embroiled on the responsiblity side of things. To the best of my knowledge, your registration is 240mm. This issue was brought up some years ago already and some owners changed to be within regulation. As far as I know (and I stand corrected to this), it is the owner/...

Hi Pieter I am not going to get embroiled on the responsiblity side of things. In the past almost 20 years, it was never an issue with the SACAA up till recently. I hear what you say, and I also know that most of this would not have happened if persons did not chase game etc with their gyros. For ev...

Regarding the sizes of the letters. They have been prescribed in the CATS/CARS. Regarding the ZU to be left out the answer is the CAA says no. If you can fit 300mm letters on the horizontal stab, you will need special dispensation from the SACAA as they are prepared to give this allowance for the be...

Hi all, There was a recent inspection by the SACAA and they found that our registration letters to be either too small or not conforming with the regulations. The SACAA was then approached for dispensation on this issue as in certain cases there is no way we can comply. They refered me to Aero Club ...
