Wait out
I have read the comments made here and feel that it is pertinent to put a few points straight. The figure for the estimated repair bill was decided by the pilot himself and was reached without any engineering input or recomendation from Magni Gyro. How this figure was calculated is anybodys guess. Magni Gyro has given this expedition full and complete support and has neither asked for or been given a single penny in return. Full support was and still is available-any parts required to enable a full return to flight refurb of the gyro are available, much the same as they were when it visited the factory and had a 100% strip,assesment,repair and refurb right at the staer of the trip. This was carried out by Magni Gyro staff, working round the clock, at no expense to the expedition. On the electrical and avionic equipment-replacements are there ready to be fitted. It is very hard as an aircraft company to hear that one of your products is stopping what is such a fantastic trip and do nothing about it. Once again this, emphaticaly, is not the case. Magni Gyro is prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure the sucessfull completion of the expedition.
