Re: !!!! SAGPA AGM !!!!
Well done and congrats for the new Committee members. Looking forward to some new energy coming from SAGPA. Would be nice to see more posts and info on "Gyro Talk" as it has been dying a slow death.

Re: Xenon flying over CT - at last
Good to hear you on the radio Greg. Have been really enjoying the M24. Take a little getting used to. Quite different from the other tandem gyros. Flew into Ysterplaat on Saturday for the Young Falcons wings parade and took a few kids up which made them happy.

Re: Back into gyro's
Thanks Greg. With the pitch set to the Highveld, I burnt on average 19-20l/hr, with power settings of around 29" and 5100 RPM. True Air Speed around 78 mph (125km/h). Indicated was 70 mph.
Now that the pitch is set correctly for down here, I'll get back to you with some figures for the coast.

Back into gyro's
After a 4 year sabbatical from gyro's, I bought myself a very nice M24 Orion. Am really pleased with it. It's Len's previous gyro, ZU-RJR. Flew her down from Jnb 2 weeks ago. Took off from Springs in a howling wind, with the mine dumps leaving a trail of dust. Very comfortable trip in an enclosed gy...
Re: True?
As someone said, "I hate it when that happens".
Seriously though, that guy was lucky. It appears a bearing in the rotor head was installed upside down. A fatality in SA occurred many years ago for the same reason.

Re: third party insurance
Would also like to find as I'm in the process of getting my ATF on a newly purchased 2nd hand gyro.
How much 3rd party cover is required?

Gyro renewal
After a 3 1/2 yr sabbatical, renewed my gyro licence today with Louis. vhpy Have been flying a RV9A in the interim, but have missed the gyro characteristics. RV is boring if you have nowhere to go. Unfortunately the RV9A is the non-aerobatic version, so you are confined to trying to watch the scener...
