My fuselage is in powder coat. I can final assemble it now. Put in an order to Aircraft Spruce for a bunch of AN bolts. Progress is slow, but I’m getting closer to completing this beast.

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

Ben…. Is there anything left KCW could do to help?  Donation? Sponsorship??    I’d like to see a KCW sticker somewhere on it…. 😎

There is still that gyro copter project here in town…. Ben would be the one to complete that for me…. 😎

Don’t think so John. Big thing for me is dedicated space to start rigging my wings. I’ve been checking on hanger spaces to move it to, but nothing open right now that I can afford. I did get all my elevator and rudder cables installed. Going to start covering the control surfaces soon. Wings still need some finishing to.

Would love to put a KCW sticker on. Maybe you can donate something towards a propeller when the time comes. I broke the tip of one blade. 🙁

I could work on a gyro copter for you. That would be fun.

I think I will try and locate the one that was local again and see if the price has come down…  Flying something Volkswagen powered sounds like the next level to me…. 😎

Sounds easy when you say it fast. Tiny bit more complicated when you’re in the saddle.

I’ve flown R/C auto gyro’s. 🙂 I could train you.

From what I understand, you can get certified in auto-gyros by binging on Mad Max for a couple of days.
