New Flying Machine!

So first off, I don't have a death wish, instead I have always want to learn how to fly. With that in mind I would like to introduce Caleb and I's ultralight gyrocopter. Its a Bensen M8-B that was built some time back and is considered the first ultralight design for this style of aircraft. It looks like a helicopter and operates in a similar way. The lift is created as air passes through the rotor blades and it is pushed by a 4 cylinder 2 stoke motor. It is considered the safest ultralight design because if the motor stalls the aircraft coasts to the ground like a parachute . I still have to get a new set of rotors before I can fly, but even Dad is excited to fly. You should have seen his face when we unloaded it from Grandad's ole Chevy. He was like a little kid. When he got to my house he climbs into the bed of the truck and sits down on the seat and starts playing with the controls. He was asking all sorts of questions, it was funny to see him like that. He has claimed dibs on the first flight, but I'm taking it out first. Katey has threatened my life if he gets hurt flying and mom has banned him from even trying it... I don't think he will listen to them. The gyro needs a little work so I dont expect to be flying anytime soon unless I come across some more money...
