Hello all

I have been lurking around this forum for about a year now and I have learned much about gyros from this forum. I have worked in aviation for 20 years as a mechanic and did some flying many years ago. Lately Ive been urning to fly and had considered taking helicopter lesions then I was bit with the gyro bug last year before Benson days when a friend of mine told me he was going for a ride in a gyro copter. I said to him “oh yea I saw one of those in popular mechanics when I was a kid, I did not’t know they were still around”. I hit the INTERNET and the rest is history. I now own a Dominator Gyro Stationed in Wauchula Fl and have been training with Dave Scace on and off for about 10 months. I have been balancing on the mains for about 3 weeks now . It is by far the most challenging part of my training! Thats about it. Thanks to all for the wealth of info on this forum.

Nice Dominator. Davie Seace is a great pilot and has a wealth of gyro knowledge. Follow his lead and you will do well, I'm sure.

Good luck!
