We have to do what we can to educate the masses, the great unwashed that haven't experienced flight in constant autorotation!

It was great to read the clearly well-informed article in the mag. A great punt for gyros! Well done Glenn!

We have tried a number of times to get Mr Guy in a Gyro without sucsess. I must congratulate you for this achievement and article.

If this does not raise some interest nothing will.

I had my medical done yesterday and even this ATP/Instructor/Medic is now interested in Gyro's.

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Stunning article, I'm very keen but please can somebody get that fuel line thing and or tank sorted there is going to come a day when one will have a hard landing and I don't want to to get burnt, perhaps I'm showing my ignorance about Gyro's but I do appreciate their safey in flight and in gusty winds...that fuel tank rupturing and fuel line separation causing a fire after a hard landing troubles me greatly, it's what is keeping me away...
