Hi Guys
As i have just started with this GYRO enjoyment , Part of my reason for buying the gyro and learning to fly is that i thought that Gyro guys are more sociable .
I want to start (maybe one exist ) a list of all Gyro Pilots and owners , and then guys busy with training .
The reason for this would be to do Fly Aways together , Or just sociable .
If you are interested please mail me the following .
Name :
Machine :
Reg :
Based :
Tel :
Email Address :
I might not be a gyro pilot as yet , but i can organise things

The SAGPA AGM will be held in October.
Do you volunteer for the porfolio of Chief Orginiser?

No offence taken.
It was not meant as being sarcastic, I was serious.
I am on the Sagpa comittee but we need a national events coordinator.
Paul would do a great job.

Great ideal Paul.
I've sent you my details.
Keep up the enthusiasm.
Two Roux's on SAGPA ain't a bad idea.

Hi Guys
I never intended stepping on anybodies toes , And surely do not want to take away any function of SAGPA .
The intention was merely to get a list of Gyro fans in the Western Cape , So that if a weekend away or fly-inns are coming up we could inform everybody .
Further than that if new products are coming onto the market or if the AP's are coming down to the cape .
I might be wrong , But its nice to belong to a group of people that have the same interest .
I have had some response , And if i need to compile a list for SAGPA i will do it .
Looking forward to hear from everybody .
Paul

Ag nee Paul,
This Western Cape Elitism has no place in the gyro fraternity.

Share the love with all of us.

Thanks to Len (jetranger ) , Louis van Wyk and the guys that replied .
I currently have a list of 30 Gyros in our area , Some not with all the details , but i am working on it getting a full list .
My idea is the following .
I want to have a Breakfast Run for Gyros so that we can meet or meet again and chat about our wonderfull aircraft .
Then looking a bit further .
What do you guys say that we have a mass arrival at the Overberg Airshow with gyro's . Imagine if 27 or so gyro's arrive in a gaggle at the Airshow , i think that would be something .
Will keep you guys up to date .
O yes and that to the two guys from FAKT for the details i will add you to our mailing list .
Regards
Paul

Count me in! Would love to be part of a big gaggle.
Dont forget the formation (gaggle)-flying pre-flight-briefing though. We don't want to make it a 'first' with gyro's taking each other out!
I am all for it provided everyone understands who's wing-man they are for the duration of the flight.
Would be awesome Paul
Well done. Bou die gees!
