Welcome Rotor!

Great to hear from a gyro pilot.

Tell us a bit of your background. Did you start with a powered Bensen-type? I've heard that Dominators and Air Commands are excellent "beginner" machines, and I've started looking for one myself. Wish there were some gyro's around New England I could take a look at and ask a zillion questions.

Where'd you get your gyro training? That always seems to be the hardest part of getting started.

How'd you decide on buying a Quicksilver instead of a gyro? And of course, what gyro(s) have you flown, and what do you have now?

Good to have you with us.
Tom

Good to hear back.. I actually own an Air Command Elite and am a distributor for Air Command Autogyros.. I have a good relationship with both Air Command and SportCopter... My business is film/TV production and I have done work for both companies....

I got my training in gyros in Utah at AirGyro.... I'm buying the Quicksilver so I can take my friends and family flying, since my gyro is is single place....

Thanks and here's my web site
