Gyrocopter Training in Tampa Bay area?

[Tim Travis]

I'm new to the Club and just getting started in gyrocopters and in need of intro rides and gyro flight training in the Tampa Bay vicinity hopefully...any suggestions regarding how/where to accomplish this? Thanks...Tim Travis

The best advice I can give you is to make a "pilgrimage" to the Wauchula, Florida airport and get to know the gyro folk there. They can point you to the best local path. You can look at the instructors page on http://www.pra.org, but my previous comment still stands as my best advice.

I think they are usually around most weekends when the flying weather is good. Perhaps one will chime in and give you a more predictable schedule and perhaps a contact number.

Thanks, Jon...will do exactly that...in addition, I called the Dominator folks today and they're on vacation until the 17th...appreciate your response...Tim

Do you have a certificate in any other aircraft? Looking for add on or full training?

Also contact Dofin Fritts in Brewton. gyrocfi@aol.com
Hes ot a good operation and reasonable rates. Will come to you if you have your own gyro.

Greg Spicola has purchased a Dom 2-seater from Dave Seace and may provide training in the Zephyrhills area.

So Greg finally got his instructor rating, that is good news. Congratulations.
