I don't know the regs wrt NTCA or Gyro's, but I agree with the above posters. The first things I always ask when shopping, are the logbooks - ALL OF THEM. Although these are not the alpha and omega, any repairs, damage history, etc should be recorded in the logbooks. In the past, I also opted to wor...

Hi Guys, just a heads up: I've noticed quite a few gyro's buzzing my house and runway - I love it, but please, if you intend to land, do not use the short runway i.e. rwy 18/36. There's a stock fence on threshold 36 and an Eskom line about 100m from threshold 18. Most important though, this runway i...

I'm sure this has been asked a zillion times but here goes: :oops: A friend of mine is interested to start flying and he specifically wants a gyro.

I fly a Avions Robin HR100-210, ZS-JHF, form Gariep Dam. Looking more and more into the lighter planes - maintanance is a killer on the ZS.

Anyway, I'm sure that trikes are not an option. I also told him that despite my lack of knowledge on these, I would not...

A friend of mine want's to start flying and is looking to buy an 2 seat ultralight ( I think that's what they're called). He lives in the Kalahari and will probably use it more often for longer flights - 300nm +, than on the farm. He's not married - yet -, but will have a passenger most of the time ...
