Default The new face of BensenDays.com

We have finally dumped that image of the old fart and replaced it with someone who can really fly a gyroplane. Check it out!!!

Someone had an epic case of the luckies.

They got seriously confused. They obviously installed everything on that gyro sideways but yet it still manages to fly. Doesn't it get uncomfortable holding your head up at that weird angle on long trips?

Stand on the ground stare into the sky and dream of one day flying. Get a gyro and ya start flying close to the ground.

That photo is misleading..... looks like Indiana soybean fields under that gyro, not Florida cow pastures.

I feel that photo is a classic! Here we have a very gifted pilot/builder flying a Dominator to its extremes, and of course the Dominator is from Ernies Florida company. Very fitting for a Bensen Days covershot. Way to go Matt, that is breathtaking to look at! Stan

Dominator is a 618 Powered, Custom Stretched Airframe, 72" propped, hang on to the seat of your pants thrill ride!
