So Mr autogiro-pilot, Do you find people edging away from you in formation flight as you approach them with whirling blades?

The bird belongs to Tina Thomas at Poplar Grove, IL, and has a Kinner R-55. Airplanejunkie has one just like it- Bird ads used to boast that it could beat an autogiro off the ground, so when the opportunity came to get some air-to-air of both we had to do it.  - |

Yeah, but could it land shorter and still have a usable aircraft?  BTW, my last e-mail to you had an offer in it, Andrew, did you note that? |

There does seem to be some momentum building to get the Pitcairn done. Progress has been slow but fairly steady and hopefully the pace is going to pick up a bit after the holidays. Steve |
