First I would like to say thanks for the address for the Slow-G kit. I am really a new guy on the block after a 25 year lapse in R/C time. Had my eye on building a Gyro for a long time and spotted the Slow-G kit on the market. I have been flying a stock slowstick since the early spring and felt this transition would be an easy one.

The Kit was first rate with laser cut parts and the manual was a class act by it self. Got it finished tonight and had to make a run to the park for the maiden flight. ROG was best for me as the grass had just been cut. After a 50 ft. runup to get the blades up to speed, with just a touch of up elevator this puppy was airborne and flying like a champ. The blades made a distinct sound at 40 ft. but I kept it running into the wind till both blades were a blur. The plane still wanted to bank to the right and I was watching for this, just a touch of left rudder and it was flying great. The stock 400 geared motor and 11/70 prop leave alot to be desired,will be upgrading to a brushless 370 just for the reserve power. But still had a ball with my first Gyro kit.

Attached are some photos of the completed kit. Already looking for the next Gyro for the collection.
