Screw-In

You may select more than one choice. Ron may have 1 under construction and 1 flying this week :D

Just trying to see a ratio between Forum members, PRA Members, and Gyro Owners.

Screw-Out

Need one more poll, To include finished machines that have not been flown yet. I just picked finished and flying because it fit me the best.

[Sonnyj]

I dont own one yet but I'm about to,finally found one I could aford. :) if the rain will let up I'll go get it tihs weekend.

[GyroRon]

Sonnyj, what did you buy?

[Sonnyj]

Haven't paid for it yet,but I'm gonna pick up the one that Chuck,s friend has this weekend if the weather will allow,if not,ASAP.

[GyroRon]

cool!!!!!!!

[Sonnyj]

Thanx Ron,we ar still dickerin over the baskitball goal,but I think I will not need it,afterall I'm only 5'5".

[GyroRon]

I think that will be a good gyro, but please plan to bring it down to ROC to let us look it over. You will need to get with some of the Mac Engine experts on the forum here to learn the ins and outs of the mac engine... they can be easy to operate if you know what your doing or a pain in the butt if you don't.

You know you should try to talk Chuck Irby into just bring the gyro to ROC for you to pick it up there. He has a big trailer and I am sure if he tried, he could get both that gyro and his Dominator on the same trailer. Save a trip for you and give chuck a reason to make sure to come to our fly in.

[Sonnyj]

Thanx Ron that's good advise on the Mac engine,and I am planing on the ROC trip,I'd realy like too meet all ya'll.
The Boss and I are looking forward to taking the trip too Chuck's,we don't get much of a chance to go,too much work. :) but dont worry I plain on doing some arm twisting if I gotta ;).I would like the chance to talk to some instructors while I'm there if I can.

[Sonnyj]

Ok ya'll I am now officialy a gyro owner just got in from Chuck's,Whom I might add is a great host,and all around good feller.We went to the airport so I could ogle his Dom,whitch is very cool,and he put on a one man air show that was great.Many thanks to Chuck for helping to make this possable.I hope to see you all at ROC.
Sonny :D :D :D

[scottessex]

Glad you made it home safe Sonny. I sure appreciate you toting those blades across state lines for me. It was nice meeting you and Barbra, Hope to see you again at ROC.
I am a couple of steps closer to getting back in the air, thanks to the help of some good people from this forum!

Congrats on being a new gyro owner.

Hello all,

I have just completed final adjustments on my Air Command "Commander", it has a Hirth 3203 engine, 24' Dragon wings, 68" Warp drive prop, Wunderlich style rotator, disc brakes, and an EIS computer for something to play with.

Thanx to Danny Whiten and Scott Todaro for test flying her, and telling me what to adjust to make her fly straight. All I need now is a few more hours of training and I'll start crow hoping.

It's been a blast building this thing! But, I'm glad I'm done too. Air Command as a whole has been a great company to deal with. Nancy, Doug, and John, are probably very happy I'm not bugging them anymore too. (grin)

Okay Doug, there's your plug... send me a Tee Shirt!

How about some pictures of your machine Jeff? And ask them there friends of yours to start using this forum, we need more pilots here.

[Texas Armadillo]

Haven't figured out how to post pics here yet, but here is a couple of links to our website and the page where posted the construction process. I'll post pics here later today if I figure out how, just copy and paste maybe? My Avatar is a pic of Scot Todaro doing a test flight in the new bird.

Hey Jeff,

Congrats on getting everything worked out. I was at a couple of the meetings before the kids started up football and soccer season. Hope to get back out sometime.

I've seen Jeff's bird fly and it is cool, even got some video of Danny Whitten doing some flyby's. Jeff really did a great job on putting this gyro together..

Way to go Jeff.

[GyroRon]

Yes good looking Bird!!!

[Texas Armadillo]

Thanx for the nice compliments folks!

Hope to see you at the next meeting Toby, don't forget the November and December meetings are on the 2nd Saturday of the month.
