boB,

It's gonna be a while. I have a few more years to go before I can put
that (Ret.) after all my information. I remember looking at a few that
were decent that I had somehow found through the discussion you had
with Kevin about simulators. A couple of them had a lot of enclosure,
especially the side-by-side duals. Of course, those may not have been
ultralight category. I'm gonna use mine like people ride their
Harleys...good weather on a weekend, go for a flight. The ones that I
have looked at are the Air Command (www.aircommand.com) Commander Sport
and the Sportcopter (www.sportcopter.com) Lightning gyros. Air
Command's ultralight appears to be out of production, so I may have to
go with a full-size gyro (maybe a tandem to give the kids rides), but
it about doubles the price.

I'll keep you posted if I find any good options.

boB,

When I'm done with my current flying gig, I'm getting into an autogyro.
Probably one of the more reputable ultralights, but it will be an
autogyro. I figure it will be more fun than a Harley. I'm also hoping
for a bit more hospitable climate than the one I currently live in.

And my last thought today is, wait till Orange County Choppers gets a
hold of that one!

I would be grateful if you posted your research on which Gyros you looked at
and of course which one you choose and why. I really do like the SkyCycle I
just wish it had more protection for the occupants. It doesn't have to be
enclosed though.

I'm waiting to see one wind up at Sturgis. What a trip that would be,
flying in.

I wonder what the rule would be at Oshkosh? Could a person fly in, get a
tiedown spot, then drive the skycycle in and out of the airport for maybe
some gormet dining.
