Thank you....nice read.

 

there are now.......some brilliant machines getting released. Even night IFR rated.

 

Gyros are now, really showing impressive credentials, ( going are those "dark days" )

 

"Professional" training, is bearing great pilots, ( the cowboy pilots are getting less and less )

 

ASRA.......has a lot to be proud of........well done.

Thanks Russ. I tend to agree.

 

I had no idea the new Auto Gyros were so capable until I did this interview. The interesting part for me was the fact that they are quite capable in strong crosswinds and turbulence in comparison to light fixed wing aircraft.
