Well, look at what I have in my garage! A SportCopter - (well, many PARTS of one). I've been wanting to get my own Gyro for many years now, but never quite seemed to be in a position to actually start. An opportunity came along to acquire the parts to a SportCopter, which was too good an opportunity to pass up.
There are some parts that are bent, or cracked, but can be replaced, along with a plethora of other old parts that are going to be upgraded. So, the GOOD news is that I'm FINALLY moving to be a gyro owner and pilot, rather than just an observer.
The BAD news - I fractured my right elbow on Monday at work, and right now I can't do much of anything; off of work, and can't really work on my new project. Hopefully I'll see the Dr soon, and get my elbow resolved, and sometime next year start working more towards getting my Gyro built. I'm looking forward to the adventure!
