Default Anyone here flying a Little Wing gyro?

Rusty, are you aware of the one that set all the distance and altitude

Hi Ken,

Thanks for mentioning Andy Keech. I had accidentally left that one off
my list of known flying Little Wings.

I found a web page for Andy, but it doen't mention that much about the
actual craft. I'm assuming it's basically a stock LW-5 with the
ability to have an aux tank. There was also a mention of heavy and
light rotors, and it would make sense that there were two sets
depending on the mission at hand. When it's not setting records, I
wonder how much it gets flown?

It still seems like there should be a lot more of these flying than
what I'm hearing about.

Thanks,
Rusty
