Thank you for sharing the fun Leigh.
Your progress is an inspiration to me.
I look forward to seeing the GT-VX Explorer at Bensen days.
Will you be there with her?
Vance it has simply been a sharing of my admiration of Denis’s immaculate work that started when we were both working on our very first Hornet gyro builds when we first got in contact, and, his continued refinement of what I found was a delightful flying machine.
It is so far in advance of what my son and I did, but at the same time the crystallisation of a dream to be able to participate in having what I feel will be exactly what I was looking for in a flying machine. It has been an absolute privilege to work on the kit he has built and to be able to see him develop this new model as it takes shape.
Yes a pod would be greater protection for the longer flights I hope to do, but already Denis is working on a windshield that will afford greater protection. Certainly this will be for some, that agile arial dirt bike, but, at the same time have the legs and the grunt to be able to take a load of basic camping gear for those longer exploratory flights that some of us, including you, have always dreamed of.
Certainly hope I will Vance, it will be good to see you again. We have met now a few times at Bensen days, and I will never forget my trip to you to fly the Predator, but certainly the continuing effects of this present pandemic on world travel, and possibilities of travel bans amongst other things is certainly a concern. Denis has had flue in the family, luckily the normal kind, which has been a concern, but he is certainly very determined to be there to share what he has to offer at Bensen Days, Sun N Fun and a number of other aviation venues throughout the year.
He is completely passionate about his gyros, and that can certainly seen in everything he does and builds, in both the GT-VX1, in this new model the Explorer, and, in the Razor Blade rotors he is now producing. Everything he does or makes is flown by him, his attention to the smallest detail extremely focussed, along with an uncompromising attitude to quality and standards, as I have personally been witness to, and hopefully, been able to show.
