Its lashing down in Cape Town at the moment, hmm, maybe we can follow the cold-front going up. You guys may have to come through it… 8) Right now we are marking time. Flynote, we went wine-tasting yesterday… selected the very best reds that the Constantia valley has to offer … We'll get them there s...

We'll be in Carnarvon.
Fortunately we have a spare machine (for exactly these circumstances - come to think of it, so not fortunately - foreplanning… lol)

See you there!

Before the rumour mills start, I had a hard landing with one of my training Gyro's at Morningstar this morning at 0935Z. My student and I were busy with Excercise 14, emergencies. We had completed simulated engine failures throughout the circuit in previous lessons and he had just been briefed on EF...

Good post, thanks.
A wise AP once told me an engine cannot make oil so if you end up with more than you started BEWARE, unburned fuel or oil is making its way into your oil.
Situation abnormal. Passop.

Vatso. Its not as if the person in question has not had enough opportunity to defend himself. :shock: ?? He chose not to, but rather to perpetrate his business model, of which I am a recent living witness. Kak daarmee, its no good for our sport. Sorry. Thanks Mods, well done. You took an active step...

I am so pleased to se the old Gyro "Gees" is still around. Thanks Flynote. Choke Choke, Start Start, kom ons gan almal Carnarvon toe en as julle twyfel sal die ou grysbaarde soos ek (en Flynote) julle graag bystaan en help waar ons kan. Onthou, 'n lang cross-country is net 'n klomp kort vlugte aanme...

Ons is al gepak en reg. Die groepie van die Kaap af raak al groter. Dalk 8 Gyro's.
Kannie Wag Nie!!

What is also evident is that online-trawled adverts are re-advertised elsewhere as if they were in-stock when in fact the seller is not even aware of the agent. So in support of what you said above Learjet, its Caveat venditor, (let the seller beware) also! Modern day snake-oil salesman it seems. ##...

Baie baie geluk aan Manie en die Mocke Familie. Dit wil gedoen wees. Manie, jou prestasie is groot vir mense met volle gebruik van al hulle ledemate, vir jou is dit 'n dubble prestatie! Welgedaan. Aan die RAF2000 span; Julle kon nie vir Manie bene gee nie, maar julle het hom vlerke gegee! =D* =D* =D...

our Gaggle from Cape Town is packing as we speak! Hopefully we will leave as a gaggle and arrive as a formation.

Looking forward to another fantastic Karoo weekend.

Ai, what has become of the 'GEES' that used to exist amongst Gyro fanatics around the country? I recall Gariep with almost 80 Gyro's a few years back - now the best we can do is 18? Why is this when our sport is growing all the time? Well, we'll be a gaggle of Gyro's coming up from Cape Town to visi...

I suggest the guy sitting in the left seat doesn't prop-start any more aerries, it seems he's already lost a finger or two!


Ok ok ok… forgive me, just kidding!!
to self.

Well done Tinkerbell and Mak for showing His Excellency these fantastic machines.

I am one of the morons and d%%^s that flies low over this stretch of beach often. Sometimes a few times a day. It is NOT illegal. Klaar. This has been debated to death elsewhere before and Morph covered the key point on a previous page. UNLESS! No aircraft shall be flown at a height less than 500 fe...

No, sorry, I disagree, as long as the wings fly faster than the fuselage….


Put a rotor on that Quicksilver and I'll have one too!

Phislett1, your Jim Davis PPL handbook is on its way!

Listen to Suesing… She has the passion and you will do well to learn from her.

Look forward to watching your progress.

Best wishes young man.
