Guys,

There was a gyro in Shellman, Ga that flew with a rotary for a while, until my welding buddy sold it to someone in Macon. Heard he lost an apex seal and change out to a Subbie and has not flown it since.

TJ,

Your wait was over a long time ago.

Many years ago there was a Rotary powered Gyrocopter flying.

I believe the owners name was Jim Mayfield or something like that.

His engine was supplied by Dave Atkins.

I also heard that it accumulated 1000's of hours as it was used for training.
Anyone have more info on this?
