How many Gyros in South Africa

[Mc Guyver]

I was asked at our club meeting in Australia last night if I knew how many Gyros were in SA. Any estimates?

[Condor]

The major distributors in South Africa are:

Magni: Butch Brown: gyrosa@mweb.co.za

MT-03: Theuns Eloff: teloff@mweb.co.za

Ela-aviation: Anthony Cohen: elaaviation@mweb.co.za

and some others.

They should know the answer.

My guess is apporaching 200 gyros, but would be interested to know the answer.

SA Avdex register:

Magni: 103
RAF: 27
Sycamore: 47
Ela: 48

Not sure how accurate those figures are (too few RAF's ?) or if I've searched correctly (by manufacturer / ICAO designate)
Also couldn't find any MT-03's (have no idea how many but perhps a dozen or so as a thumsbsuck?), Bensens, Helithrusters etc etc on the register?

I guess 250 gyros or so as a guesstimate?

Thanks for the fast response :D
Cheers,

Spoke to Theuns, the agent of the MT-03, and he has 36 gyro's sold, since May last year.
