Here is my Field & Stream cover shot...
This was an unscheduled landing when the Rotax 582 went quiet.

Tommy,

You just made me extremely jealous. I still rue the day I sold my first AC, had more fun with that machine than almost anything I've flown in since. Congrats on your new toy!!

Here's a pic of my first love(gyro-wise) and my current RAF.

Not one of my gyros but one of the machines I'm flying at the moment out in the sunshine of West Africa. Fantastic aircraft.
