Ed, I really like your gyro..... If I ever get around to building a two place, it will be stretch version of your single seat. Love the way it looks.

Default Gyro Jack

Jack waits in the yard watching the sky for me to come back, then he runs to the end of my runway for a ride back to the hanger.

Bruce- I have to say that your picture and your dogs relationship to your flying and riding with you on the ground has to be one of the best testimonies for the true love of gyros. Stan

The good old times.
I don't know but I like this photo very much with Dr. Bensen at the controls.
A gyro without any extra gram of unnecessary weight. (the worst enemy of all flying machines.)
