Here is some hot scooop on Bensen Days Gyro Fly-In at Wauchula, Fla.  It
officially starts on Wednesday, 3 April and goes thru Saturday, 6 April.
Many people show up on Monday or Tuesday.  Sun n Fun starts on Sunday, 7
April.  By Friday, there are normally more than 100 gyros at this event, and
at least three or four will have Mazda Rotary power.  And they have been
flying them for several years so have good use factors.  Wauchula is about 50
miles south of Lakeland, in the middle of nowhere -- no decent motels, and
not much in the way of restaurants.  Many many people come in their motor
homes and campers.  The other option is to stay in Avon Park or Sebring,
about 30 miles southeast from Wauchula.  Wauchula airport offers overnight
tiedowns, fuel, hanger space and maintenance for those flying-in.  Some kind
soul will get you into town or a place to rest and eat.  I have been going
every year since '92, and it is always fun and a great bunch of people.
