Good news! Take lots of pictures for us who are not able to go there.
Someday I hope to..... Have fun and fly safely. Go FJ get that solo done. _________________  A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension.

Chris and Jim, my condolences too the both of you on the loss of Bonzer. I know how you feel, I lost Rocky 14 months ago and still really miss him bad. Get that Solo done my friend. Be safe and have a good time.

FJ SOLOED TODAY
What a long time coming from first gyro hours shoe-horned into Desmon's red MTO "QT" ......in late August 2011 .... the highs & lows of building the TiggyB ...trying to get all the issues resolved so it could be flown off & used to train in! Now a year after owning the Jim customized Titanium Explorer "Festey" .... and piecemeal sessions of training @ the various rotorcraft events we attended in the last 12 months ..... Today JIM flew SOLO!!! Thanks to the week -long preparation @ ROTR with a couple of daily lessons ... thanks Desmon,Chris Lord , Brandon & Mike Burton he was finally 100% ready! We relocated yesterday to AirGyro HQ @ Spanish Fork ..... Today - after a final dual lesson .... just before noon ... Jim headed out solo under Mike' s watchful eye & ground radio! I got pics & video ... to be posted after we get home! ( later this week!) CONGRATULATIONS  onwards to the flight test & sport add-on!  _________________ |

Is that DuuuuDe really that small, or are you really that big
   Congrats mate  Once you get a bunch of hours up, are you going to try and get tiggy going and have a crack at that?    _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned! Ok, Ok.... some of them are planned.. If electricity comes from ELECTRONS, then surely morality comes from MORONS?? |

Once you get plenty of hours up... I am sure you wont be able to resist taxying and hopping it
Would be good to see you get some use out of it _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned! Ok, Ok.... some of them are planned.. If electricity comes from ELECTRONS, then surely morality comes from MORONS?? |
