Well, Just to update everyone.
We set up a day to ride down to Zephyrhills and see
@fara and get a ride in the gyro.
It was a nice trip.
The wife took 2 Bonine an hour away from Zephyrhills.
When we got there everyone was very nice and welcoming and
@fara started explaining everything to the wife and I and we decided that she would be the first to go up. So after all the briefings and instructions, and making sure she had her "bag" with her, they loaded up and taxied off.
When they took off and made the downwind turn and then i heard the engine sound disappear I was hopeful, LOL
They were gone about 20 minutes before landing.
I watched them taxi up and shut down, so I walked out there to see if I could help her out, and to see if i needed to take her "bag" from her, and she said she was fine, didn't get sick and in fact never felt like she was gonna get queasy.
I was happy, and was ready for my turn!!!!
So off we went for my first time in a gyro!!!
And it was exciting, weird, a little un-nerving due to feeling like i was gonna fall out with no doors to keep me in, LOL
But I liked it!!!!
So after
@fara put it through it's paces a little, showed me what it could do including stopping in mid air (cool), he let me take the stick for a little while. It flies real nice. Very stable. And I was AMAZED at how it took gusts and wind.
Landing was interesting too. I am used to turning for final at a mile, not at the end of the runway, LOL
These things are a trip when landing!!!!
I want to extend
@fara my utmost thanks for taking the wife and I up and taking the time with us!!!
We BOTH really enjoyed it, she STILL talks about it!!!
I will be in touch with
@fara as soon as we know if the world is going to survive April, LOL
