Default Morris Autogyro Fly-in

I arrived here in Morris and found Bernie and Joel with there Autogyro's out on the line.
The wind has been blowing from the South which makes taking off away from the the pit area. Joel flew his Jim Baxter design profile. and I just watched..
I will get my Autogyro's out this morning and try to post some pictures of this beautiful field and it's activitys.

What is the best way to get there from Indianapolis? I-65 to I-80 or go through the country roads little bit?

I-80 is your best bet. After passing Rt. 47 at Morris continue west and take the Seneca Rd. exit. Visit my website for a map.

Yesterday, (Saturday) it seemed like we had 3 Autogyros in the air most of the time.. The weather was great all day and we flew until we had to pack our birds away so we could make it to the resturant by 6PM. We should hhave been as slow as they were. Good food but better discussions.
I will post some photos now but will have to post more later when I have wifi.
Still more flying today.

Thanks to everyone who put up with me at the Fly-In. I learned a lot by listening and watching. My gyro did not fly but still had a great time and no serious damage was done. I will do a couple of small repairs and give it another go somewhere, sometime soon.

Glad that both of you made it to Morris this year. There werre others that came but left there Autogyro's at home.. Both of you have a very nice Autogyro and your skills it building show pride in what you do. Next year bring at least 2 ..

You all take care.. And Craig let Travis fly..

Jim

PS: There is some pictures on RC Groups. Still having trouble uploading here.
