Wanted to post but didn't have all the forum paths figgured out??
Still don't, but we'll try this on the welcome mat.
My name is Benj Simpson, and I live in Western Ne. on a cattle ranch.
I bought Maxie Wildes Aircommand Tandem Elite.
I'm trying to find time, weather permitting, to fly over to Longmont, Co.
to take some Gyro flying lessons.
I'm 56 years old, and have flown a PA-22-150 since 1977. Learned to fly in
a Super Cub after getting out of the Army as a Crew Chief/Door Gunner in Vietnam, on a UH-1H.
Not many Gyros in this area!
Happy New Year to You All

Whitman, Ne.

Benj, Welcome to the forum. I have never seen the machine you bought but I have heard it is a very good machine and if this is the one sold on E-Bay you stole it. Training in Longmont Colorado, Well We may soon meet in Person Because I am also training with John Revenboer and let me tell you, You are in for a treat, He is very experienced and professional, a good teacher. Again Welcome to the world of Gyro's. Racer

Benj,
Welcome. I've ridden with Maxie in your gyro several times at Bensen Days. I thought it flew great. You got a great deal. Good luck with your lessons and keep us updated on your progress.
