Wish I could have met the man. Gotta admire people who take on
challenges like he did. Would have been cool to sit down with him a
couple cold beers and discuss helicopters in general.



I agree. I sat in on his talks at the PRA conventions. His knowledge of
helicopter dynamics was "very" impressive, as was his ability to present the
information in a way that made it perfectly comprehensible to us average
folk. His stories of overcoming the design and performance problems
associated with the Helicycle (which often had references back his days at
Rotorway) were a lot of fun and very interesting to listen too!

Fly Safe,
Steve R.
