Default My first gyro flight, Mentone 2012

Micheal took me for my very first gyro ride in Chris's silver bullet, better known as the Calidis auto gyro. I than went for a second ride with my good friend Desmon. Desmon really gave me a very impressive ride in his MTO and made me want one even more. It's sucks that my camera battery crapped out on my flight with Desmon mostly due to the heat I'm sure. Either way what a great event to attend. Thank you all very much.

Ron- Its hard telling how many people you have influenced to gyros, either by observing what you can do in a gyro, or actually going up with ya. Keep it up! Stan

John- I know Ron was impressed with your Yamaha installation and how quiet it was. Most excellent engine choice you guys have made.

Hey John nice talking to you brother . Ron is one of the people who make the sport catch on by giving rides. You can always count on him. So next time speak up the worse thing that can happen is that weather rolls in and you won't be able to ride but he sure is available most of the time!
