Your female model is as cute as a button.

What’s the green thing on her wrist; a splint or some kind of medical device?

Wow those are gorgeous...did you get to take a ride in any of them?
They certainly look like a Sweet Ride!

Is the Yellow one a Kahu? I think that's how you say it :)

I believe that would be a good ol' plaster cast on the girls arm, I think they make them different colors (my young one got a choice of three colors not long ago) just so they are not like the same old 'dumb' white ones like we would have had in our day.

Hi, yes your right it is a cast but made of fibreglass these days !! the broken arm is ok and she is back to normal ! These and a few others I took of my daughter Cassidy ended up in a kids magazine along with an article about flying with dad!

I managed to hitch a ride for a circuit in the Eagle which is the open two place tandam gyro which was really awesome, I have been promised a flight in both the Xenon and " Kahu" which has been doing a fair bit of flying around of late.

Hello BOP Flyer
I live in Te Puke so you will have to come around for a feed one day soon, there will be plenty of gyro talk if thats what you like, I work on tuna boats in the North Pacific but should be home within a month.
Meet you then,
Gordon Gibson.

Attention Australians and New Zealanders


Chuck Roberg walks among you. Chuck is on vacation on the opposite side of the earth.
He left here on Thursday and probably has his laptop along (I know he has his wife along, so it's not a "gyro junket", per say)

Hi,

the Eagle is an MT03 and there is a quick video coverage from NZ-TV here:
