The traveling CFI

Great Tower friendly airports

Great Tower friendly airports

I had a very nice compliment the other day. I was flying new people out of a busy Towered airport. After spending several days doing so the Tower manager made a special trip down to the place I was hangering to personally invite me back to his busy airport any time I wanted. He said we had changed his mind forever about gyroplanes.

I had been on the road again and I am glad to help change a few people's minds on how they think about our aircraft. I also had the owner of Chick fil a land his jet behind me. He saw me land when he got out he drove right to me to ask how long it would take to learn to fly a gyro.

Gyro flying is always so much fun.

New pilot. New MTO Gyro.

New pilot. New MTO Gyro.

I just unloaded a new MTO for a new pilot in San Antonio. Sometimes new pilots are nice you do not have to break bad habbits. Will be helping him till Saturday then back to Tomball/ Houston for 10 Days. Then Osh Kosh / Mentone.

 

[GaryMac]

Tell anyone what?

 

[Texasautogyro]

I have been training Brent near Castroville. Mark sold his gyro to maybe buy another turbo MTO.

 

[Texasautogyro]

I am getting ready to do a trip to Iowa, Osh Kosh, then Northern Indiana before Mentone.

I have time if you are interested in these places or after Mentone on the way back to Texas. Just let me know.

 

[Ghetto Wash]

Desmon,

I'll take an hour each time you come up to the Fort Worth area if you can give me a couple days notice. Just shoot me a pm.

While in Mentone I had a prop delaminate on the trailing edge. We bonded it with super glue but it only lasted a few hours. I also had a stainless exhaust crack at the elbow.

After close examination I decided to re-anti seize each exhaust joint at 50 hrs time. I found what looked like some areas that might have caused binding in the rounded joint.

I have been wanting to put a new IVO inflight adjust prop on. I think it will show up tomorrow.

Then I am planning to go to Utah this weekend and then Michigan for a week.
