FAI congratulates the Pilot on this splendid achievement.
AGQUIP 2008 at Gunnedah, Australia's Premier Primary Industry Field Days.
Mick, and Willi have done over 110 flights over the 3 days, and showed their ability of short field take off, and landing. From no-wind to wind gusts of 30 kt cross wind, Mick's MT-03, and Will's MTO-Sport where constantly in the air.
Kim was flat out answering all questions of prospective customers.
They created lots of interest.
A HUGE thank you to all participants, and the Auto-Gyro team.

The ultimate student reference book for flying modern Gyroplanes
Interested in flying? You need "Flying a 'New Generation' Gyroplane in Australia ".
The book "Flying a 'New Generation' Gyroplane in Australia " will tell you everything you need to know about how to fly these fantastic machines. This quality book, with 102 full colour diagrams, contains all the briefings required for pilot training. It is clear, concise and has the odd touch of humour.
It is the only book available which has been specifically written for 'New Generation' Gyroplanes and it is fully up to date. It is not a general purpose book on Gyrocopters, there is no "history" section or repetition that you can get in any book on Gyrocopters. This is 100% geared towards learning to fly and all the examples relate to the MTO-Sport. It also contains the information that you need for the ASRA GyroplanBAK exam. It is ideal if you already know "how to fly" and you "want to learn to fly a Gyroplane".
The RRP is A$ 90. Read it and you could save hours in training. Order it by sending us a email: info@skyranch.com.au
