what "I" do, is fly to as many fly-ins as possible. There I answer 100's of questions about gyro's. I hope this can bring more people "in the know" about gyro's. And hopefully this, will influence our younger generation.

Yes. He may already have some patent applications.
It is an easy site to search on, but still in its infancy. China Patent & Trademark Office

Flew to Putman County fly-in Sunday to help promote gyro's. The Ford tri-motor showed up and is taking rides this week.

Default What can we do??

First of all anyone that is "NOT" a FULL Rotorcraft Gyroplane CFI should NOT be allowed to instruct in gyros.

I have held my tongue and breath,, not wanting to hurt anyone feelings, but Damm That..

I received an e-mail from Jim Fields about how and what we need to do to promote Safety in Gyro's,, Or should I think he meant the Honey Bee..

I do NOT Appreciate the IFR Conditions in Wauchulla, and Jim Fields flying in from Sebring, and then Bragging about it , saying His Passenger was IFR Rated..

"GYRO'S ARE NOT IFR RATED"

I for one am tired of this and have done all I can over the years to promote flying safetly with gyro's..

If The PRA doesnt want to hold accountable those at the fly-ins,

Then I will Not Be at ANOTHER PRA FUNCTION..

I will Not Be held Accountable to the FAA, or a WrongFul Death Suit because I didnt stop it from happenning in my presence..

Most of you reading this Know Me.. Im NOT PLAYING !!

I have "FREQUENT" calls from the FAA, about complaints being made to them, wanting to know what I had seen or knew had happened, And saying,, I could be held accountable because I didnt prevent or report an action at a Fly-In. And all because I have instructed and flown with most of the FAA Safety Examiners in Gyro's.

Think ABOUT IT...would you like this, not once but many, times. And I wasnt even there giving rides, I was Instructing as per my FAA LODA.. DAMM,, it gets OLD..

Wouldn't THIS Pi$$ You Off..??

Steve,
I completely understand. We need to take a hard look at this to make sure the gyro community stays safe.
