Well I've seen the increases concern in Ben ever since Doug was killed crashing his SportCopter, in front of him, for no good reason at all other than being a new pilot and we have lost several Low Time Pilots.
Seems to us that they are not getting enough training before solo as the high time pilots are not dying in the same ratio in modern gyroplanes.
Ben cares more than the others that is what I see and know because he has talked to me about following all the baby steps and I will because I have seen newbies like me are experiencing some part of the flight envelope they do not have the experience to handle and it is killing them while we watch and there seem to be nothing wrong with they aircraft.
Get Training and sign off for balancing on the mains and crow hops, then follow the Benson course of taxi, balancing on the mains, crow hops, etc and only then solo in front of a CFI with radio contact on the ground.
