Yee-Ha!

Without my knowledge, my brother arranged an hour of instuction for me in the gyroplane. What a gas! I got to land 4 times two relatively unasisted.

Take offs were a bit strange, you had to pull back on the stick until the nose came up and then push forward to increase the airspeed then, at lift off, you have to pull back and left to counteract the torque of the motor or else it swings the plane.

We finished the flight with a twisting run up a river for about a mile just before sunset- ten feet off the water.

Pilot's license just move up on the list.
