(!!) After 30 000 km flying around Africa in their Comco Ikarus C42 the guys are back in Germany/Holland. http://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/video/sendungen/lokalzeit/lokalzeit-aus-aachen/videoultraleichtfliegerausafrikazurueck100-videoplayer_size-L.html Sorry, the video is in German, but the guys stated ...

I wish you only the best to get that medical stuff sorted out.
You really deserve to become a licensed pilot.

VERY LEKKER, would love to see the picture in HD. You could upload the pics on Flickr and embed the link (HTML/BBCode).

Dankie Vernon vir die Hanger Spasie en gebruik van die Veld.

I do not mean in any way to make it smaller, but it was not the first time: Two guys flew 2005 from Germany to Toronto in a Microlight/LSA http://www.lornav.de/kanada.htm Those guys have also flown to Spitsbergen before (Island very up north close to the nordpol). At least both teams used the same p...

Dear Gyrohads , I will visiting friends in Joburg during the first 2 weeks of February, Beside my German Gyro and fixed wing license (LSA), I hold a valid RSA LSA and US PPL license (full license). I do not know how I can update my RSA LSA to a RSA Gyro license. But I would not mind to do some Gyro ...

@Simon, I do not know how you made your mind up to choose Stefan. But you can call yourself lucky to have chosen one of the best instructors /flying schools (worldwide) available. And, I know what I am talking about! Have fun and enjoy. (!!) ....... Well today was the start of that dream...I contact...

'n ​​Voorspoedige Nuwe Jaar Did my last flight on the last day of old year. The sun was shining and the temperature almost in the positve range. Flying over the north exit of the Rhein Valley westbound Koblenz where the River Mosel enters the mighty Rhein http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3734/116696977...

A litle bit of research: Gyro: from Latin gӯrus circle, from Greek guros =circle,turning copter: From Greek pteron = wing Therefore: Turning wings => Does make a lot of bloody sense to me Autorgyro From Spanish auto- 'self' + giro 'rotation' Makes sense, too Gyroplane: Guros = "circle /turning" + Pl...

Onderstaande kom uit 'n artikel uit KITPLANES van Oktober 2013. Gyrocopters vs. Gyroplanes ..... Modern gyroplane designs are extremely safe and stable and offer safety advantages such as turbulence insensitivity, no stall, precise, short and slow landings, wide speed envelope, slow flight, simplic...

Hey Top Gun, looking sharp

[sorry, might not made myself clear. I was trained in Germany (in one of the windiest areas). I learned to get the front wheel up, Keep it in the right angle to increase speed and rotor RPM at the same time. When the back wheels got airborne as well keep center lined at all times until 100 km (foot ...

I could not agree more. There are two scenarios where rudder control is essential. In a take off situation you need to keep the nose following the center line all the time until your speed reaches the safe velocity (100 km for a MTO)to pull the stick and ascent. Fighting the tendency to turn into th...

@ Okfyler Did you take the pictures from Alaska yourself? :) @phislett:Yes, All pictures and videos where taken by myself. I did the seaplane rating for my US PPL there (end of august) (!!)
