Yep, nothing you can do about it. Used to be
old guys were in their late sixties. But now they're getting younger. what? Model Flyer wrote: "Bob Martin" wrote in message ... Well, I don't think that the gyro is that old. A year ago he was doing taxi tests up and down the taxiway between hangar rows without rotor blades. I want to say that he's about 55-60, but I could be wrong. As my dad said the other day, that gyro of his is "like a mosquito... all it's good for is making noise." And whenever he does fly it, it's only for a few circuits around the pattern. I'm a bit bothered about this, Old guy, at 54 I don't feel like and 'old guy', do I become an 'old guy' on my next birthday? -- . -- Cheers, Jonathan Lowe modelflyer at antispam dot net Antispam trap in place "Wooduuuward" wrote in message ... Must be a good design if he's an old guy. Do you know which manufacterer / model it is? |

" I'm a bit bothered about this, Old guy, at 54 I don't feel like and 'old guy', do I become an 'old guy' on my next birthday? The saying goes, that the impression of old is anyone 15 years older than yourself. Think about it. It holds true, pretty well. The poster has just told everyone else about his "inexperience", hasn't he? g Then there is BOb, who even admits that he is old! g -- Jim in NC |

In Norridgewock,Maine on August 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The PRA Chapter #739, "The
Yankee Rotors", will be there showing how gyro-planes can do what others cannot. Fun,fun,fun. -- Have a good day and stay out of the trees! See ya on Sport Aircraft group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sport_Aircraft/ Join "The Ultralight & Experimental Aircraft SiteRing" http://pub27.bravenet.com/sitering/a...num=2286862090 wrote.. I flew helos in the Marines, and in the '60s put together a Benson kit. It logged about 220 hours with zero problems, including a highly idiotic trip from the CA coast to Catalina. In 1972, however, my wife-to-be insisted it go before the wedding bells. Are any of these still around? Henry |

Michael Pilla Bah! AARP solicited me the year I turned TWENTY. That happened to be the year my father (we share the same first name, although with different middle names) turned 55, _and_ he moved to a different town, *AND* I had my own place. |
