Thanks Stan. I am very blessed. I'm not sure why I deserve it, but I am.

Yeah Shawn,
Your cool factor is looking pretty good.

I realy like your aircomand.Two things jump out at me. I don't see any insterments. Seems bare bone simple. After my trip to Utah's fly in I came home with a diffrent way of thinking. How many people are letting the dream of flying gyros pass them by after looking over the cost of kits, and training. The simple gyrocopter is being replaced by very complicated, and heavy machines. My old aircomand was like landing a feather. And I have been told that the suspentions can cause a duck walk.
I also notice that the rotor sets in line with the mask. I dont see that often. Watching your video, and seeing your gyrocopter gives me a good push in the right direction.
Thanks again

Cool Ben.. My instrument panel is right between my rudder pedals and it is small. It just consists of an engine tach and a 4" quad gage for 2 EGTs and 2 CHTs.

The original mast was off-set forward about 3-4 inches but I asked Air Command to make a straight up version that also raised the rotor head 4 inches (for better prop clearance).. I made a few mods to my gyro so the rotor head mod was needed for a better CG. Works good... Flys real nice... Good call noticing that...

Watch this video at about :30 seconds.. it's my instruments...

I’m starting to hate YouTube. I went there to check out your video, which I did. Next thing I know I’ve wasted over two hours there, watching more videos. Not a total waste, most were gyro videos, but this wasn’t the first time.

Yeah. I hear you... a computer can be a like a black hole.
