Default Groen Bros. DARPA Award


Ya gotta keep an open mind. Just a thought!

Respectfully,

John L.
(Former Army helicopter pilot, and currently a gyroplane pilot.)


Hey John..... I don't recall the name but I was flying Army from 1970 -
1995. Even if we haven't met I'm sure our paths have crossed somewhere
along the line.

My dream was to build a RAF2000 Gyro, mostly because of the enclosed
cockpit and the standard type seating. I had even contacted an IP in
Pensacola about the training. I learned my lesson about thinking I
needed no new instruction after buying my Sprint II. that little guy
was a handful until I settled down. It flys so slow I felt like I
was hovering over the fields.

The RAF2000 would be as good as some small fixed wings with the only
drawback of lack of storage space with 2 people inside. That dream is
on hold now but what do you fly? I would like to hear your experiences.
