Thumbs up

Yeah pretty is the Cub look-a-like . They are called "Little Wing" I think. Your man shedding a blade shouldnt have stopped him flying. I`ve had it a lot on a Boddo Twin Gyro, called it "Shakein` Sheila" after a while. Even in normal(?) flight one rotor can be going twice as fast as the other, sometimes nearly stopping. Bit of a laugh trying to get them both to stop at top of a slow loop. Never took to helicopters though. Your four years are nearly up I think ! Hot news on BBC News today (14/04/04) was "round the world" attempt by autogyro. A Benson-Type with Rotax. Should be interesting to follow progress, very difficult, but best of British I say. Duncan
