I’ve just driven back from Italy and am happy to report that the first production GWS to be installed and operating in a customer gyro was successfully installed at the Claudio Pagotto works in Italy.

Claudio makes the Brako line of gyros that includes the Blazer

and single seat Sprint

We installed the GWS in Gianluca Rossi’s flying school (ALLFLY) Brako gyro.

This was the first time we’d installed one in a Brako so it took a day and a half to get the wiring done and make a neat installation.

We then made the necessary calibration flights and a few hiccups (by me) the system was up and running.
Both Claudio and Gianluca said they were impressed and delighted by the system and felt it should reduce the number of accidents.

It will be interesting to get feedback from Gianluca as an instructor and from his students.
Hopefully soon Abid will install a GWS in one of his gyros and that the other manufacturers will show some interest.
