Heading out for another flight in my mates gyro. His health is deteriorating and needs to sell it. He is pretty short so I have had to adapt rudder pedals etc. Of course every modification needs a test flight. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Paul! How long have you been back flying?
Maybe I missed the post about you being back in the air...

Hi Paul it is good to hear you are in the air again, do you plan to get a gyro of your own again?

I have been back doing some flying since October. I have done 3 Bienniel flight reviews since the accident which is 9 and a half years ago!!
I am still pretty shit scared!! To think my gyros used to be an extension of my arms!!
I have a single seat project I am working on with bits left over from my failed Firebird project.
Also have a RAF that I am doing my safety mods to and the owner will allow me to use that when I want to.



I bought this single seat project for less than the price of the rotors. I knew I had all the bits needed including the first
Firebird airframe where I miscalculated the mast angle. This airframe will suit, as well as some tail feathers h/stabs etc.
The original owner started with a Rotax 2 stroke and then installed an ea 81.
That made the position of the rotor head incorrect. I will turn the gearbox around and it will be a CLT gyroplane. (Y)

My problem is I am totaly exhausted most of the time so it takes a while to complete projects,
plus we now have 4 grand kids and our caravan to use!!
