The UFO was under dust ect. The thought that this thing can actually fly. What I did not know, was the...

Re: CAA Certification on the UFO Gyro

Finaly, the UFO has flown its maiden voyage home. We did endurance flights this last week and double checked preformance, fuel consumption, rate of climb and the reliability of the last 18 months modifications.
