Default Fly's like a dream!

I just talked to Larry to ask him about a question that had come up on mine and he was so excited he could barely contain himself. He had just flown the new SSC and he said it flies incredibly smooth and stable. With all the changes he has made to this machine, it really is more like a new model than just a few revisions. But anyway, it is great to see it flying and to know that all the changes he has made are working well together and the end result is a smooth easy to fly Gyroplane that will be a delight to fly in and of it's self. THe fact that it can easily be folded up and drive down the road safely is just icing on the cake. You gotta love it when a plan comes together like this.

He told me it is a high priority for him to get more (and better) pictures and video of it flying so people can see it in action. So be expecting to see more of it soon.
