Hey,,,,
I built a Parsons two place trainer in 1993.
Sold it to West Penn PRA Chapter 4
Frank Baker trained?Gave rides with it for about two years,,,then
retired it,,,,,,,,
Louis Darvassy,,,and Stan Zankowski were very busy in the early days (1965-1970's),,,,,They tried for years and years to build a two place powered,,,machine,,and never truly realized their dreams,,,
Not to boast,,,but my heart felt desire was to make it happen for West Penn PRA 4....
Finaly it happened,,,,but no one was acredited,,,,to instruct,,,Frank was just a licensed pilot and would take folks for rides,,,,,,
Today it's different,,,,,way better,,,way safer,,,and it's good to have
CFI's available to us,,,
Sooooooo,,,,,let's use themmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!

We should honor those pioneers by naming machines and flight schools after them!

John - I like your initiative. I have a question about how this is going to work for the chapter members. Would this gyro be available for all chapter members to rent/fly? Would it be a for-profit or non-profit? i.e. would chapter members pay only for the operating costs or would they pad somebody's pocket for the privilege to use their machine? When you use the word "investors" it makes me suspicious.

Thanks Udi! All I know for sure. = Nothing ventured nothing gained.

It took awhile but I finally figured out a method here are a few screen shots of the slide show presentation that will help explain how it works.

Now than I'm back I'll upload the presentations and the contracts that make it work to PRA31.org. I'll try and have it online by tomorrow.

Basically there are investor/members and there are members. The investor members expect to be paid back their cost based on usage of the co-owned aircraft.
The slide show explains it in much more detail but here is an excerpt that should really help.
