Drove down to San Diego with my son Stuart to meet up with John and to see his Genesis. I was very keen to see it up close and personal, get a look at the build, materials layout and get a good idea of what it feels like sitting in it.
Great to see John looking so well, I knew he had been having a few issues, but he was in great form as full of energy and enthusiasm as when I first met him some years ago at his first Bensen Days. Really good to see you again John.
I liked what I saw of the Genesis. Although not the model that is hopefully going to be being certified in the UK, it gave me a very good idea of what it will be like. A good sturdy gyro, loved the tail. The seat was comfortable, panel well placed, and stick in a good position. I really like the idea of the quick conversion from open to enclosed. in the colder UK that will be a big plus.
Just hope that this will not taking another five years to get certified. There is a current of interest in the singles beginning to build in the UK and something new, very stable yet agile, will I think be of interest.
