I am an unabashed wannabe pilot.
After retiring a few years ago, I have taken up motorcycle riding and various other things that I did not have time for while working 60 hour work weeks. Recently I had the chance to take a ride in a Magni 24 and confirmed that I would love flying this type of aircraft. I have no flight experience so do realize all training, etc is an absolute necessity. I am a very good mechanic and would love to build a two seat autogyro, so currently studying different options. My wife tells me I will have to get rid of some of current toys if I want to do something else.
My beautiful 1949 GMC truck was a frame off restoration by myself and nephew will soon be appraised and up for sale so perhaps I soon will be in the market for an aircraft or kit. I am leaning toward a side by side set up and do realize that aerodynamics are quite different from in line tandem set ups. Until things fit into place, I am enjoying this website, tips, thoughts and recommendations.
