Wanted: ! Magni M22 !

Hi, As the title says I am looking for a gyro for slightly longer trips that has some packing space, and good endurance. From my limited experience I take it that means an M22, MT03/MTO-sport and at a stretch a Calidus. The Ela, M16 and M24 did not seem to have any meaningful packing space using eye...

Re: !!!! SAGPA AGM !!!!

I removed my earlier post bemoaning the fact that for me, a hopefully new gyro pilot, there is 0 information available on what SAGPA has done the last year in order for me to decide whether to join SAGPA or not. Even the events calendar has nothing in it. The new AGM video posted on the SAGPA facebo...

Re: Xenon trouble again

That is scary. I would have something stronger than a beer if I found that on my gyro!

Re: Xenon RST new pic 16 August

Looks very nice! Compares well with the newer Xenon panels! I like the way they gave the status lights maximum sun protection.

Re: Xenon RST last pics before paint 05/08

Hi, Looking good. Just be careful with the venting holes on the side. From basic physics warm air rises so naturally the higher the vent the better. That's probably why the factory vent is at the highest point of the panel enclosure. We find with the instruments we design that some forced induction ...

Re: Xenon RST Mast pics 01 August

Is it spring loaded to put some pressure on the tube to stop it from rattling? Looking forward to seeing the document storage solution. I can echo the observation about it always looking like an afterthought. Best solution I have seen to date was where the seat folds forward revealing a dedicated st...

Glad they came through for you. Tried to retrieve my tracking log but it was already deleted.

Re: Xenon RST build new pics 30 June

Almost looks like its the transparent panels that's not centered and not the light. But it might just be angle of the photo.

Re: Xenon RST build new pics 27 June and more moaning

Hope us non technical n00bs can also learn from this thread (**) Pity the pulley shaft cant go straight through to the other side for some extra strength (red line below). I assume the shaft will bump against the main structure and a bigger pulley wont fit between the other pulleys? Also will the ex...
