Crazy doc ek is daar ou swaer! Been a long time. Cant wait to give that Calidus a lekka run again! Looking forward to a great Karoo kuier with you guys. (^^) (^^) (^^) the flying is going to be fantastic. Carnavon is the best. vhpy If you fly gyros and miss out on this one you are missing out big ti...

First landing was best. Should have called it a day then! Second best was the off road one in the rough. Should have camped in the outdoors overnight after that one. Last one ... eureka!! but note that there are two guys in the gyro at this stage. Hearty welcome to senjor instructor. what a helluva ...

Hey guys! i have once again been out of circulation for some time and really missed the banter on the forum. I see posts are few and far between. We need a big event or something newsworthy or chatworthy to light the fires. Maybe the Botswana airshow next month? I believe 12 of us so far going? i wa...

Tinkers, wil jy nie maar vir Marius bietjie aanmoedig om sy gaai in rat te kry en die Zen by Gariep te gaan afshow nie. He is a very quiet chappie. Shall we not get that ball rolling big time now?

:lol: :lol: Hi Ash, f%$#&*n = FlippeN. Ons vloek nie sommer nie!! I am not available for a dice against the Arrowcopter :oops: It is a mean machine on steroids that one! :shock: I am a bad loser! My Calidus had its 25 hour service on Monday and was returned to me with beautiful matching leather armr...

I really feel so guilty that I am letting my buddy Lennie the klop- klop man down by keeping him in the dark. I am not very good at expressing myself clearly in words hence the confusion re the speed of the Calidus. Lennie I must confess that I totally underplayed the info regarding the speed of the...

So sorry if I left that part out. My appolgies Lennie. Yes she is very quick and fast too. I must not forget to mention it next time round. Must make a 'note' of it... (**) Now what is happening about the Gariep get together? I hear barks and knorre everywhere but no bites. Is 23 to 25 May still on?...

Lennie, please forgive my memory but you know this forgetfulness thing...did I mention that she is very fast also ?
Ek sal wragtag n C 172 en PA 28 dice en nie vreeslik vêr derde kom nie!

Lennie, please forgive my memory ...

"An easily accessible fuse system with annunciators." I think that's the way Auto Gyro will go the moment someone has a problem with the current set up. I once blew a fuse on my Xenon due to the ground wire touching the exhaust and burning through the plastic. The next moment all went blank on my pa...

Jip, bring on Gariep in May (^^) Thanks Lennie for also pointing me in the direction of the Calidus and the Arrowcopter when I started looking around for "the latest and greatest" in enclosed tandem. vhpy We often hear the term "German Technology" thrown around. I mentioned on this forum a few years...

Just couldn't resist the pun! You will find the right gyro for your requirements. Go fly them and see which one rings your bell. I will never go back to blik êries as long as I enjoy recreational flying. Nothing beats gyros. For commercial use it is another story especially if you need to commute fo...

Is knighthawk still in the dark?

Two weeks... two long frigging weeks out of town with a spanking new Calidus dozing away in my hangar and only pix to keep me entertained and drooling out in the gopse. But the day arrived on Saturday! I was finally going to take her flying. Got back into town at 12h00 and at 13h15 I opened the door...

Did the local conversion on RJS today. Flew her to Tedderfield from FAKT. Didnt want to land. Wanted to just point the nose in the direction of Gariep and just keep going. Dis n lekker êrie...Lennie jy was reg... =D* more on this later but for now... Paulus... Start posting the arrangements and get ...
