Thanks Llewella. We had a report of a gyro accident down here last week, about an hour away from me. It turned out to be a trike roll over. They are giving us a bad name!!!Aussie Paul. [

Paul,I had the local RAA CFI ring me that day just to make sure that it wasn't me.He rang back an hour later to confirm that it was an RAA registered trike and he had to investigate on behalf of RAA.telfFlying - The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
