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.

****aircraft building is 90% patience******* 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. address: EAA Ph (414)426-4800 Wittman Airfield, Oshkosh, Wisconsin 54903-2591 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. (I'm building a Monnett Sonerai IIL ) ! --(x)-- ihnp4!cbnap!tel
