   I'm somewhere between 2200-2300 hours under a rotor with a rotary...
   other
   than the Hobbs for maintenance items, I've been lax in actually
   logging the
   personal book correctly!  Just over 4000 when you add in the fixed wing
   hours!  The most recent gyro sold quickly, so I've got an old
   TriPacer to
   piddle around in now... my mind is just about finished engineering
   the next
   gyro I'm about to build!  Even with the TriPacer, I'm still hooked on
   gyroplane flight!  Once you've chased coyotes, deer, and wild pigs
   down a
   creek bed for miles at 20' agl, you're priorities of flight enjoyment
   change!!

Way to go Gary! I'm itching to get back to my 12A Turbo powered
tractor gyro project. At least the turbo won't overspeed at 20'.
Have you watched Birdy on YouTube?
