Back in my misspent youth.............



A Volkswagen engine and a German army helmet.   Hmmmm.  Were you flying recognaissance for the Luffewaffe?   :D

I think you have more courage than I.  Is that a DIY Benson Gyrocopter?  That's pretty awesome!

That is a modified Benson B8M with a Continental A65 aircraft engine. I did not build it. It was a little under powered for my wide load, but it flew like a dream. After we had kids my wife said if I still wanted to fly I had to either take her, or the kids along. She did not want to raise them alone. Now I need to find something with more than one seat.
