Do not get me wrong, but I do not care how an american magazine wants to call it. In my part of the world (Europe) where most of the birds are built and flown, they are called Gyrocopters or Tragschrauber or Autogyro (Autogiro was the brand name of del ingeniero español Juan de la Cierva). The FAA ...

Hi Flynote, For the last 6 months I have been looking at the horrible looking single seaters from the States. I remember the fun I used to have flying in the 80's my Quicksilver MX2 at 60 km/h. Flying from Baragwanath to Rietfontein was requiring proper x-country planning, but it was the same fun a...

Stay away from Coves. Not outsiders friendly, by invitation only. Got the T-shirt. You'll find the attitude at the coves have changed quite a bit with the increase in aviators at the estate. But it still is a private / unlissenced strip in terms of insurance, and there is NO facilties - food, loo e...

Nice idea , but it means ziltch if you don't state area/ location.

Just saying.

Agree - look at some you tube clips for CH 701's and even the 4seater CH801.

Their new 750 cruiser can do what the sling does, while you're sitting in the wing's shade.
(taking nothing away from the sling)

The exchange rate might however affect the final decision.

Let's ask this... just to get the grey matter tingling! A fire extinguisher in a trike - and it is going to achieve what in flight - awesome aerobatic display - smoke on go ;-) Me > I would prefer the choice of carrying an extinguisher as opposed to be told to carry one! Follow me signals - when ha...

Vlieg is darem lekker !! Ek het altyd gedink vlieg is die tweede-lekkerste, maar het nou besluit dis die lekkerste :roll: :wink: :lol: (werk is nou 2e) :shock: :lol: Kyk elke ding is maar lekker op sy manier. :mrgreen: Sommige "goete" is net meer lekker as ander (-) En kyk nou hoe sidestep ek daai ...

=D* =D* =D* =D* =D* =D* =D* =D* =D* aan Nico, Martin en die hele span. Was 'n heerlike ontbyt en lekker kuier. Moet asb nie te lank vat om weer een te reel nie. Net 'n paar fotos van die toestande, van die weste kant af en wat die manne laat oplet het in die klas! Die son reg van voor met mis onder....

:( I only have trikes... SAPFA - Power(ed) flying. Unless your trike is the lighter than air variety vhpy , I'm sure you are most welcome. As I understand it , the FUN-RALLY is more about accurate flying and "outside" observations (answering/recognising landmarks), than speed and time trials. - Tha...

Mine works perfectly Go to map settings ( the earth logo) IMG_0300.JPG , select Airspaces IMG_0301.JPG , and then scroll down to filter options. Select airspace as nessasary IMG_0302.JPG and adjust the slider to the applicable levels. IMG_0303.JPG You need to go out to the main screen after each adj...

Nou ja - dan lyk dit asof ek ook die sat sal terug vlie na breakfast.
Sal nie graag alleen langs 'n stuk teer wil kamp nie !!!
Maar brekkie sal dit wees.

This actually looks nice, but as thing stands now,I don't think this will be an easy job to get into sunny SA.
CAA AND the exchange rate!!!

Damn -
Ek het dit gemis.
Lyk of dit baie lekker was.
Mind you........ enige verskoning vir vlieg !!!

Next time - Ek sien 17 Augustus op die Kalender Juanita! Is dit nog aan?

Nico Oorspronklike plan was om vrydag met laaitie deur te kom en oor te slaap. Familie neuk rond - gaan nou eers Sat oggend deur kom met eerste lig. Wat is die beplanning - moet ek tent in gooi vir Sat aand, of gaan almal al sat terug vlieg? Ek sal 20 l mogas en kos vir 1&1/2 mense nodig he. As dit ...

According to there blog, they are stuck on a remote farm waiting for a spare part / spares for blue Max's plane.
With the "Oos-weer" in full swing at the moment - it might not be a bad place to be.
