Hello Travis, and welcome. Just a little east of you in Wachula Florida, Sun State Wing and Rotor meet. That bunch can be found at the airport most every weekend.
Also, in late March or early April, the Bensen Days Fly-in is held there. It ranks among the largest gyro fly-ins

Most grease gun ends/caps screw on. Clockwise to tighten and counter clockwise to loosen. Before you start, make sure you can loosen the tip with your fingers. You can adjust the clamping pressure, by how tight you adjust the tip. If it is difficult to remove, just loosen a little and it will slip...Leave a comment:

I will also bring a foaming coil cleaner and clean the A/C condenser coils while I am there this year. Office and classroom and museum
I guess for the opportunity to do this, I will have to give you a wild ride to pay for it?...Leave a comment:

I did not like what I saw. I am thinking this is not a RFD machined tower. Ernies towers have a roller bearing in them and the bushings are teetering in the roller bearings. If yours are just bushing to tower and they have wore the slop into it. That is likely the culprit for the odd stick shake. Instead...Leave a comment:

I was starting to come around back then. My first Gyro Fly-in was at the Nationals in Greencastle. Personally, I support the BOD's decision to purchase the Mentone property. It gave all of us a home. As I recall, there was not enough time to put the decision to a vote; and the BOD made...Leave a comment:

$20K seems mighty cheap to completely resurface the runway and taxiway. However, if we have the funds available, I say "getter done". The price of repairs will only increase.
Thinking outside the box a little; as we are a 501C3 Not for Profit. With a bit of creative accounting. Could...Leave a comment:

Escambia Sheriff SELLING
I have come across an advertisement on GOVDEALS for the Escambia Sheriff Department. It seems Sheriff Grover Smith is selling a SPORTCOPTER and a POWERED PARACHUTE, both units have Rotax 912ULS engines

Normally , YES.
However, if you have a heavy blade and the the rotor is following it, the stick will move in a circular motion; and you are shimming to migrate the rotating mass to center....Leave a comment:

I am liking the way you think.
Napoleon used urine from the soldiers and animals and used it as a source of nitrate. The urine was collected, converted from calcium nitrate to potassium nitrate (saltpeter), and combined with charcoal and sulfur to field armies....Leave a comment:

Before Bensen Days this year, I built me a camper into the gooseneck of the trailer. Finished it has 7'8" width and 8' long and 6'1" standing room height. The steps will fold over into the space getting them out of the way for toys. Heat and air, and I will be adding water. Perfect for a fly-in....Last edited by Gyro28866; 06-03-2018, 05:59 AM.Leave a comment:

I have seen gyro's trailered to flyin's with the rotors attached. Personally, I do not! It only takes a few minutes to romove the Teeter bolt and lift the rotor off. Last year, I purchased a 38' x 10' tall enclosed gooseneck trailer. On the side wall, I built a 30' support that is angled 7* to mimic...Leave a comment:
