Default Anyone here flying a Little Wing gyro?

Rusty, are you aware of the one that set all the distance and altitude
records? Pilot's name is Andy Keech. Do a search, he may have a
website up. All his flying and records are a pretty good testimonial
for the Little Wing. There was also a lengthy article in either Sport
Pilot or Kitplanes, I forget which, about one of his flights that
landed at Kitty Hawk.

Go to
www.rotaryforum.com. There are threads on building the Little
Wing. One is about 3 builders building them together.


Thanks Ken, but I've already been through all the LW threads, and asked
the same question on the forum. What I'm looking for are people with
finished, currently flying LW gyros. I know they take quite a while to
build, but as long as they've been out, it just seems like there should
be some flying.

I know there's one really nice one for sale near Atlanta. I also found
a builders site for a fellow that finished one, but later wrecked it.
These are the only customer built examples I've heard of, but there
must be more. I've purchased the plans, but I'm hesitant to put that
much time and money into building an aircraft with so few flying
examples.

Cheers,
Rusty
