Friedrichshaven is very high on my bucketlist (having done Oskosh once).

Please keep me posted as I think I speak for 4 guys.

Hi LowLevel. Spoke to my uncle earlier today and described your situation. He is a qulified motormac with years of experience on various engines. Before I could even complete the story he said, over temp and asked if the rings have seized, to which I had to reply yes. The headbolts will strech causi...

Congratulations on your 25th (or something like that).
Trust you had a cracker of a day and wish you many more save flying.

This will be a first for our part of the world.

Some safe fun in your flying machine.

See you tomorrow.

Although most Gyro's are based in Gauteng I don't recommend Gauteng. What was nice about Gariep is the fact that we all were stuck there and had to "kuier" (that means socialising Ozgyro) all the time. If we do it in Gautend it will become a day event and not a weekend event. I heard rumours that th...

On my way to fetch my plane from Alldays today.

I am in.

I think we need some input from the instructors here. Must though state that we are not promoting emergency landing procedures without the engine running. You must practise the standard simulation over and over again and discuss the engine out with your instructor prior to attempting this. Yes we al...

The Landbou Weekblad will publish an article on Gyros in their 29 July 2011 issue.

Make sure not to miss this.

Flynote posted this article under the Xenon thread but without his permission (I am sure it is OK) post this under a new heading for comment: Re: Xenon Gyro by FLYNOTE » 13 Jul 2011 21:58 At last!! Back in the saddle again. And now I want to clear two things in my own mind. If anything unexpected ha...

Baie geluk Swannie.

Mag die jaar wat voorlê net wonderlike weer en nog beter vliegervaringe bring.

I just received the information I requested from Aeroclub, for which I am very greatful.

(Do you think this thread had anything to do with it?)

I am the Secretary for SAGPA. None of our members have received any renewal notices for the 2011 year. After much asking we received a list of members indicating those that have paid. SAGPA then sent out our own renewal notices to all and we got several angry replies back from members with proof of ...

Contact Old No 7, he has a ATR500 in his plane as backup radio, you might be able to borrow that.

I was involved in the accident on Saturday and only had the contact details for the pilots home number on my phone as we have shared a hanger. It was hell not being able to contact his wife for hours to tell het about her husband. We can be in a situation where we require important info from her tha...

Some more useless info.

ZU-LEN is my hanger partner and I sent him the Filser manual last night, as he has exactly the same problem with the intercomm.

I will tell him that his transmission are 100%
