Lovely pics Mak !

Well done Johan ! Will pay you a visit soon ...

When I was building my Xenon, when I saw that the standard Xenon diagrams have 4 resettable fuses for the entire works, I threw away all circuit diagrams and rewired all electronics and electrics through 14 motor-car type fuses. Like FOGyro says, if it pops there is a reason. You replace the fuse wi...

Hub-Bar, sorry to hear about this adventure ! Mountain flying is a skill on its own that you guys in the cape are good at it. In your story, I am not understanding your need to x-control in cruise flight regardless where the wind comes from. I am probably missing a point. Why not crab with neutral c...

I think I should prompt her and see if our mate Mr Vliegnoot can just possibly package a deal - what do you think? vhpy It is not off topic ! What a stress relief ... Your sis must push for this ! I think that a musician has the best job in the world. Have you ever seen a musician not smile in a ba...

Weight shift????? :lol: Definitely not in this design nor in the Magni. But the RAF ? I am still not convinced. I accept all your theory as you explained until now, but for standard gyros that do have their fuselage guided by feathers in their horizontal plane, making it somewhat "rigid" in their f...

PTKay and Learjet, we all know the theory of gyros and rotor blades in gyrocopters. We would not have passed our exams if not. It is just a discussion and immediately it has to get out of hands. No wonder why so few post their thoughts as they are so sh.. scared to be bombarded by the fundis. If you...

If you still believe that a gyroplane is a "weight shift control aircraft", like trikes, you have shown the enormous scope of your ignorance. PTKay, very unnecessary comment. The conservatives are not interested in different designs. If it is not like my gyro, it cannot be good... The RAF might not...

John Boucher, the dust was already settled when you decided to have a late charge and create animosity again. There was no need for your interference. You attacked me on your first post, please read it again. This is not beneficial to any party and I will retract from this argument gracefully. Howev...

So you say I'm making a fool of myself? YES, simply because you are assuming like everybody else that SACAA issued my licence and I am tired to be portrayed as an illegal pilot. If at least someone with authority (like SAGPA) would take the trouble of checking my file, wherever it is stored, and se...

Dear John Boucher, You have fallen in the trap like many others. For the benefit of VT and others.... as MISASA is the ARO in terms of Part 149, for microlights and LSA aircraft, the same applies to SAGPA and gyros. With SAGPA achieving ARO status in terms of Part 149, you may think to hell with Aer...

Hi Condor, Thank you for answering in english. We are all stressed when not communicating in our home language. Shall I answer in french ? To understand eachother in this wonderful country, we ALL have to accept to communicate in the "business" official language, whatever effort it takes. You have j...

Hi Eric,

The AP AND you have to belong to the same section and that section must be the one in which your aircraft falls.

Not a problem, I have got that covered.

Regards.

Wrong. It is like thinking you don't need a TV license because you only watch Dstv and what do you get for the money anyway. It is compulsory whether you built your own gyro or do not own a gyro at all. But, hey, if you have been getting away with it... Tinkerbell, I suggest that you make a call to...

Here we go again. Out of 7 posts 5 are in Afrikaans. This is not a bashing session against afrikaans speaking people that I have the greatest respect for, but those gyro pilots who refuse to post in english do speak english correctly as they would not have obtained their license otherwise. Tinkerbel...
