What part of S.A. do you live in Ben?

I have flown quite a bit in S.A. especially in the J-Berg and Cape Town areas and still have at least one more contract in Rand to complete.

Be careful, very, very careful with your choice of gyros.

This forum is the best place on earth to get proper information regarding what to fly and what you should not fly when it comes to stability and safety.

It should not take long to figure out what is safest.

Welcome to the forum Ben.

[Ballistic B]

Thanks for all the replies,

I live in Middelburg,about one and a half hour from Pretoria....for the most part. Actualy for the past eight years I've been working abroad,first in Scotland for two years and now Im on Private yachts. Have spent alot of time in America last year and earlier this year. I loved it!! New York,Savanna Ga,Florida, Virginia. All goes well I'll be back there next year.


I came across this site doing some research about Gyros and stabillity. Im thinking about a Magni, I hear they are very stable and very poppular in SA ...soon find out. Im going home next week and go and fly in one and see what its like.

Chuck E, did you like it in SA?

As soon as I start training I'll post pics,and I'll probably overload you guys (and girls offcorse) in questions.

I found S.A. to be a very interesting country, however it seems to be spiraling downward towards the stone age like most other African countries.

But at least they don't have Bob Mugabe in charge, then it would go stone age.
