na no crashes just building up my skills slowly have finaly reached the age where i can aproch thiengs in a conservative manner that said we are using this thieng for what we bought it for id say 50% of my takeoff and landsare not on a strip lots of beaches, farms(the company i work for is 50 000 acres i regurly fly to work)dry lakes work goodone time i set down with almost zero roll to find the ground very soft had to taxi 1000 yards to hard ground then pace out my striptook of all good but for most other flying machines that day could have ended badly as the ground so soft as it offered no roll lovin my flying Love Gyrosyeh Mark i let Dad use it somtimes

EwanGood to hear you"re having fun.

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

[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]

Good to hear Ewan keep up the good work

[asra]

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

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
