Transition



We recently completed our new home and hangar in an aviation community east of Dallas, Texas. I have finally decided to retire from being a school teacher at the end of May. 

For many years, even before I owned a Tangogyro, I was interested in building, flying and selling Aviomania Gyroplanes.

I sold my Tangogyro the week before Bensen Days and ordered my new G2sB Genesis Duo.

From https://aviomania.com/g2sb-genesis-duo/

"This gyroplane was designed in 2007. Like all our aircraft it has been tested extensively for safety, stability, maneuverability and performance. A lot of hours have been accumulated proving it to be a superb and forgiving trainer. It incorporates ALL the latest understanding in Gyroplane Aerodynamics and Stability.The airframe, as all of our aircraft was carefully designed for the best possible PILOT PROTECTION by a light, but very strong triangulated airframe that positions the Kevlar reinforced fuel tank in a protected airframe area. Same key features as our single seat gyroplanes which include true CLT design, a specially designed tail that compensates for most of the engine’s torque, preventing torque over, bunt over, power push over, PIO as much as possible and keep the airframe always parallel with the rotor’s flight path. This offers exceptional stability in all aspects of flight.All materials and hardware used in the construction of “Genesis” are Aircraft Grade. (6061 T6, 7075 T6, 4130 Alloy, AN Hardware). We strongly believe that, we are offering the best gyroplane that combines excellent safety, stability, performance and maneuverability. The gyroplane is offered with either a small nose pod (same style as the single seat), or with the new full body length open cabin."

It will come with the Rotax 912ULS at 100 HP and I may eventually upgrade to the Edge Performance EP912STI and 154 HP. Once it is complete I plan to purchase additional kits needed to officially become the Aviomania North American Distributor.
