well just an update have gone solo in our new machine and am loving it will be very disapointed when i get to take a passenger againas the performance one up is very cool no mechanical issues is a bit of fun being the first gyro in the area it is a bit of fun comparing its caricteristics to all the local machines (choppers ultralites ect)thanks to Bones for takin a few of our mates up look forward to the day when we can do so . the only thiengs i would do different is break your training up if you can we did it back to back every day and it got to be a hard slogbut thats the senario we had so thanks to bones for hanging in there to get us through let fun roll on Ewan 0427238130

machine is all good confidence and skill as a pilot is growing well on the weekend fitted a oil thermostat mainly to shorten the warmup time but also to keep oil temp in range i fly anyware from 15 to 35 deg and dont want to know about taping up oil coolers ect warm up is now the taxi time to the strip temp. in the air steady regardless the temp outside so am happywell worth it in my opinion

[bones]

Good to hear Ewan keep up the good work

[asra]

just an update for anyone interested The local airo club had a fly in over the weekend 40+ aircraft 1 gyro 2 choppers war birds ectas the first gyro in the area we made for a lot of interest all the standard questions what is it and what can it do i did a number of flights kept it all fairly simple not interested in any stupid mistakes in front of a lot of people machine now at 90 hours and no problems to report

[bones]

I just have one question, is the 90 hrs evenly spread? or arent your sharing properly with your dad?
