I stopped flying my Cessna to Nash for the Robbie instruction, believed it would be more fun to fly my gyro, guess what, I was right! My instructor is only 20 years old, but has over 700 hours of helicopter time. This field being made up of mostly Helicopters drew a crowd. I heard things like "this man must be crazy" When I explained I have close to 2000 hrs on the airframe and 700 hrs on the engine and rotor, they changed their attitude. It was blast. I will fly my Helicycle over there when the times comes ===== James

James- I am looking forward to seeing you flying your Helicycle. That's neat flying your gyro to your helicopter instructor.

I so wanted to show my helicopter instructor what a gyro could do. He never had seen one fly and I had to sell my SparrowHawk to buy my Helicycle kit

Thanks Gab. Elwood, I have a WOLVERINES sticker on every thing I have that moves.
A lot of people have ask me what it means. I tell them it is like an outlaw biker
gang, except we use rotors, and like the bikers, we don't take shit from any body!!!

Thanks, Stan. The only real thing that is keeping me from moving on the project
is Blake still has my MFS that I gave him at Big Sandy, but talked to Blake yesterday
and he said he would try to get it back to me in 1-2 weeks. I surre hope so.

James
