I would like to hear any and all opinions,experiences, and or comments
about the infamous Benson Grycopter. I have read some literature (only
sales catalog) in regards to the saftey, performance etc.... The general
opinion that I get is that they are somewhat unsafe? Any facts to these
rumors?
As a novice to the field of aviation, I will use these replies to draw my
conclusion to the question of: To build or not to build.
All responses are greatly appreciated.

If you plan on building any type of aircraft, I would strongly
recomend that you join the Experimental Aircraft Association.
If you don't know of a local chapter a call to national headquarters
in Oshkosh Wisconsin will get you a list of the nearest chapters to you.
Even if you don't join a local, join the national to recieve
the "SPORT AVIATION" magazine. It carrys many informative articles
on aircraft building techniques and safety reports.

My second recomendation would be to writre to the kit manufacturer
and ask for a list of customers near you for first hand opinions.
All others can only speculate.
