The training application should be viable. I know of at least one R/W pilot who completed a large portion of the minimum hours required for his CPL with a gyrocopter. Good concept, that is. Can any of you enlighten the rest of us (wannabes, especially) on the regs?
I think I may follow your lead and look into a little R&R by going up there. I flew the Benson years ago.
Cheers
