Gents

I know it's belated but thank you very much for all the wishes of congratulations.

Len
Your words were very kind, stating that the gyro and I bonded, I however believe I just hung on for dear life! It was great to be flying again! Many thanks for the great instruction. Although it was going to take place in 2 parts, the knowledge and experience that you shared enabled me to do it all in CPT in one go. Many thanks again to you and Christine for your time and effort.

You're being too modest Abezzi!

Like learning to ride your first bike - you never unlearn how to ride a bike, flying a gyro is something you never forget. We may get rusty but when you're good, as you are, then you're good. I see the pleasure you get from flying it to your numbers exactly.

The harder you work the luckier you get. Gary Player

Aldo, Congratulations again on finally receiving your crisp new National Recreational Pilots Licence (Gyro). Fly safe. I know my machines are safe in your hands.

Ronnie Chapman went solo at Morningstar yesterday!

Well done Ronnie, probably the shortest time required for solo ever! This is possibly due to your many hours of Cheetah flying and the many hours spent with Paul Roux in a Gyro. Well flown mate, and I know you will be a great ambassador for our sport!

I look forward to completing your training with you. Well done so far.
