Once we get to the plateau or level that we can take off, fly till the tank is empty, land safely then fly again and again till we get bored. What should we be able to do to demonstrate with our Autogyros we are certifiable as an Autogyro pilot. What is a beginner? What is an expert? Does it matter? Should we have particular manuvers that we are able to demonstrate to qualify as a pilot at any particular level? We have a few friends in our circle of friends that have many hours of piloting Autogyros and have what might be considered considerable skill and expertise. Is it possible these people might like some form of friendly competition when we gather in Muncie next September? What kind of events could we invent to expand our skills and interest in our very small part of the total RC hobby. Would the Autogyro event ever be part of the AMA competition in the future if we don't make something interesting out of our hobby? If we did have a competition, would commercial interest be willing to donate prizes to make the event something more than a gathering of friends?

Think about it, lets have some feedback and ideas to make this thing more than it is today.
