Some talk, and illustrations, about gyroplanes in general. A native of Scotland in the UK, he does have that Scot accent, but made a joke about it: “If you need me to repeat anything, I will try to do it in English.” He started the program with the basics. He has written the book on gyroplane flying. It is probably a good thing that I never did build one. Since it was a single seat, there was no place for an instructor to sit. I don't remember the issue or the date, but nowhere in the article did it talk about how to fly the thing after you had built it. First of all, I had no idea where to buy that large propeller that looks like a helicopter blade. There were plans showing how to build one in the magazine. Almost every pilot has heard of the Benson Gyrocopter. My first interest in gyrocopters came when I was in high school and read an article in Popular Mechanics about the Benson Gyrocopter. There are not many meeting spaces available that far away from the population center of Tucson, but the Biosphere 2 has very good meeting rooms and facilities, and wi-fi service as well. My first thought when I learned about this event was why is an aviation event being held at the Biosphere 2? San Manuel airport is just over the hill to the east, and they have the largest gyrocopter training site in the state of AZ. The Biosphere 2 is a large research facility located north of Tucson, near the town of Oracle. A training symposium for gyroplane flying called “Mastering the Gyroplane” was held October 26 and 27 at the Biosphere 2 here in Arizona.
