My exploration flight with Greg Spicola

[Gyronaut Jones]

Hey guys! I recently went on my exploration flight with Greg and it was incredible! I can't wait to start training! Hopefully I'll be able to in the next few months. My next video will be my trip to MN to start building my GyroTechnic GT VX-1, so stay tuned!

You are lucky you got that done. Last 1.5 weeks it has been a stationary front where ceilings are low in the morning and by the time they get high enough, shortly after it starts to pour rain. Tampa has had record rainfall in last 14 days. In this heat you should ask Greg to go up to 4000 feet to cool off.

It's just been nasty lately with all the rain. Thankfully this flight was about a month ago, right before it all started.

On a side note I'd love to come tour your facility if you'd have me! Maybe this winter when it cools off a bit?

You are welcome to come anytime. Just give a day or two notice. I will be happy to take you up if weather is good also.
You will see 2 airplane models and 2 AR-1's being assembled right now.

Abid, any chance those 2 AR1s will have a GWS installed?? You said that all AR1s from 2023 would have GWS.

Yes Mike they will

Abid, that's good news at last. We need to talk because there have been some updates since we installed the GWS in your AR1 a few (2 or 3???) years ago.
Also we've improved the Airspeed calibration procedure.
Are your two AR1s 912/914 or injected?

One is a 912ULS with big bore kit (110 HP) and one is a 915iS

Abid the 912 powered gyro will only need a stick position switch but the 915 will need a throttle position switch as well.
