I am getting packed up for a trip to Florida to visit Ora Cook. I expect to return with an Air Command Tandem on my trailer. I'll let you know Sunday night or Monday how the trip goes, and if I have a new filly in the paddock.

Don't you already have one of those? This is a classic case of gyro hoarding if I ever saw it.

Tim, one day i might wind up on one of those cable channels about odd behaviors. Went up flying the Blue Bee for a while, then used my hangar hoist to lift the rotor rack up and off the trailer in one piece! Talk about a convertible trailer, this takes a few minutes to clear the deck for the larger Air Command T. I tried it with the other ACT, and it actually fits with the rack, but the clearances are too tight for travel. I will need to modify it to use it with the bigger gyros later.

10 hours down Saturday. Spent the night in Sebring and finished the trip up Sunday morning on down to LaBelle. WOW! I had trouble leaving, there was so much STUFF! I should have taken more money. Dam. There is a CLT Air Command single, a Dom with a 532 and a 14 gal seat tank, several McCutcheon 23's I think, a KB8 with a 14 gal seat tank, Maybe a Cessna 172 and parts for the hull of a flying boat, and an ultra light FW. about a dozen bandsaws, assorted other stuff.....I need to make another trip.
Ora tried to give me an EJ-22 complete with mounts, coolers, ancillaries, FI, etc...I just left it cuz I wasn't ready for it! I think I'm going to make another trip down.

Ora, this amounts to a gift. Thank you very much, I deeply appreciate what you just did, and my little girl is going to get a BIG kick out of this very soon.

SICK, sick, sick I say.
Your shrink will make a fortune trying to figure you out (as well as the rest of us...Lol).
:)
Congrats on your acquisition(s)..!
