Many here have a passion for flying and their posts show it. Many aren't as charged up. I never have taken flying lightly. I mean , stop and think about how just over a hundred years has passed that man has left the bonds of tens of thousands of years being stuck as a surface dweller. Much less than our short 100 year escape from the surface are the years we rotorheads have done so with gyroplanes and helicopters. On top of that, some here actually design and build these ingenious machines, and some of us just build them. But my passion has continued to steadily increase since I started flying gyros in 1985. The passion found me doing side jobs and whatever it took to experience these rotorcraft on an ever escalating level. I can honestly say I do not wish for any higher level of excitement that my 25 year adventure with rotorcraft has me at now. I feel I have reached sensory overload, it is still that exciting. I just wish that some of my passion and others here put a catalyst in a few bellies here. This is such a unique opportunity to experience flight in a machine you have built with your own hands. I can't for the life of me see how that can get boring. I know just enough to know that I have a lot to learn , and that in itself keeps me excited. My wife can testify that I almost always read in a helicopter book sometime each evening. Someday I won't physically be able to fly, but I am building a lot of interesting memories to sit and ponder while in my rocking chair days. .........................................The time is now to seize for experiencing rotorcraft!
