Welcome to the wonderul world of Gyro flying Giel!
I know that the guys at Mossel Bay Aero Club will welcome a Gyro amongst them.
They have always been most supportive and keenly interested in these amazing little machines.
I wish you many happy and safe hours in EHT.
Viva Gyro's!

Re: Can't give you legs, Can give you wings!
Mike has adequate ankle motion/travel to push the standard pedals if he straps/supports his legs together below the knees so there was no need to modify the machines. Thankfully.

Can't give you legs, Can give you wings!
I thought Michael (Mike) Roberts needed a special mention here. Mike is a low-break paraplegic. This gent has dreamed of flying all his life but never thought it would be possible or even achievable due to his physical restrictions. Enter the wonderful little Gyroplanes we love... The rest is histor...

I wonder if the composite rotors could possibly suffer de-lamination or worse? I'll rely on my AP/AMO to advise...

I have just spent 11 hours on a ferry flight so forgive me if I am brief. Okflyer, you humble me with your compliment. Thank you.

Re: SAGPA AGM & NORTH / SOUTH 2014
Looking forward to your Karoo hospitality Rob.
You guys always make us feel so special. Perhaps this is because the History of Gyroplanes in SA started right there in Carnarvon.
See you on Friday.
