From The Editor

I grew up with John Gillmore in Iowa. He got inter-ested in gyros and got very involved and later was on the PRA Board of Directors. He married Jen-nifer who was the PRA secretary for many years. When they came to Texas for the 2002 PRA Inter-national Convention John called me and asked if we would come up there and spend a few days with them. I had the time of my life and really got hooked. I got to meet Steve McGowan there and he took my then 14 year old daughter up for a ride in the Black. These things were just so fascinat-ing, I had to learn more. In 2004 I was in a bad motorcycle accident and was unable to walk for about four years. I had to have my left leg reconstructed and work though many hours of rehabilitation to learn to walk again. When I got back on my feet I wanted to pursue the dreams I had of having and flying a gyro. I joined the PRA and Chapter 62. Shortly after I found a great deal on an RAF and now I was on my way. Took the RAF up to Ron Menzie so he could look it over for me and I could start my training. This was the best thing I could do. Ron is very knowl-edgeable on the RAFs and was able to help me go through it and make a few modifications, the main one was the horizontal stabilizer. Ron also is a great instructor and made it such a pleasure to train. His facility is nothing but first class and his GBA modified RAF is a great flying machine. The greatest pleasure I have gotten from this sport is the friendships that have been built over the few short years I’ve been involved. There are so many different types of people, those who like to build, those who like to fly, and those that just like to hang out and have a good time. Everyone of them have so much to offer in making the sport so enjoyable. I have had the pleasure to make some friendships that I treasure and will have for the rest of my life. The closeness and caring of the group is something you can’t find everywhere. There is always someone willing to jump in and help you with whatever you need whether it be building, flying, answers to questions you may have, or just to hang out and spend the day “hangar flying”. On March 17th Chapter 20, and the entire gyro community, lost one of our friends. Mark Car-mouche was working in his shop putting together

a project (a Weber engine) that he had been work-ing on for quite some time and was finally getting to the finishing touches when he suffered a fatal heart attack. When the news of his passing hit the community you could feel how hard it hit when hearing people talk about how much he had done for them and how much he would be missed. I first met Mark when I needed a brake handle for the RAF so I could use my hand to apply the brake rather that having to use my foot. Mark con-tacted me and said that if I had an idea of what I wanted that he would make me one. I sent him some crude drawings that he worked from and made it up. It fit perfectly and worked just as I was hoping it would. I asked Mark what he wanted for it and I would send him a check. He told me that he made it from scrap that he had laying around and that I didn’t owe him anything. Later Mark sent me an article for the Southwest Rotorcraft and suggested that we have a Builders Corner as part of the newsletter and said he had a lot that he could contribute and would do so each month. This is when I saw just how much Mark did for everybody else. He was always willing to jump in and help people with their build and design parts that would make their machine much better. Mark’s work was never second best, everything I saw of his work was first class and anyone with anything built by Mark was very proud of what they had. Last year Mark was at the Chapter 62 Anahuac Fly-In. He brought one of the rotor brakes he had been working on to show everyone what he had. These things were fabulous and were a great so-lution to the older style where you had to apply pressure to the cyclic to apply the brake. He end-ed up building two of them for our club members which are currently installed and being used. The entire gyro community is saddened by his passing and he will be truly missed by many. He was a pleasure to be around and his enthusiasm for the sport poured over into getting others excit-ed as well. No matter what you needed Mark was always there to help and wanted to help everyone, even people he didn’t know but he knew he could make a difference. Mark had projects going on for people all across the nation and was helping so many people.

New Central Texas Chapter

Paul Erb is working on beginning a new PRA chapter for the people in the Central Texas area. He has all the PRA paperwork necessary and has a list of at least 5 people, he just needs to get their PRA membership number. There are 2 CFIs in the area (GTU and T74), so that should allow plenty of opportunity for growth. I guess when it rains, it pours! That would be at least 5 CFIs now in Tex-as. Current searches have located around 9 pilots with gyro ratings in the area and they also have a number of interested people. Eventually (ways to go there) Paul plans to get his LSCFI and be based out of HYI. He’s looking for

a used tandem Air Command or Dominator at the same time in the process of a designing a tandem that blends the best qualities of all the erector set gyros out there. He says “I'd rather fly than build, but we'll see which one happens first.” Preliminary plans are to set meetings on the 2nd Saturday of the month to allow attendance to the other chapter meetings and split the meeting loca-tions like the Houston club between GTU/T74 (Taylor Municipal Airport) and HYI (San Marcos Municipal Airport). This should cover San Antonio up to Georgetown. Should get the first meeting together probably in April. If you are interested and need more information please email Paul at [email protected].

Fall Chapter Meet; Late November, thinking Cen-tral LA. Such as Bunkie, Pineville, or Oakdale For more information about our upcoming meets or to get more information on Chapter 20 please contact Rudy at [email protected]

Tribute to Mark Carmouche

MARK CARMOUCHE (Announcement sent by Bill Wieger on March

18th) Mark Carmouche passed away very suddenly on March 17, as a result of a heart attack sequence at his shop area. This synopsis will provide every-one with a quick perspective of his sudden pass-ing, with scheduling details to follow. All things were normal until he realized his chest was hurting at which time he called 911. Mark Lohman happened to appear just after the first responders had arrived, and Mark was talking ok; Mark L. thought he would come through just fine. Enroute to the hospital he was hit with a fatal at-tack. Lohman inquired what was wrong, Mark replied “I think that I’m having a heart attack buddy.” He provided additional info to the responder and spoke about his phone conversation with Scott Bordelon about Scott’s morning’s flight and that he had just unbolted the refined bellhousing for the Weber motor from the milling machine when his chest started hurting followed by arms hurting. For the ambulance, he proceeded to get onto the stretcher by himself. Services will probably be in the Wed-Thurs time frame. An autopsy will be required, and more de-tails will be forthcoming soon from the family. Peli-can Chapter #20 will be represented appropriately and distinctly with an appropriate flower display. This is a big loss for the gyro community in Louisi-ana and also in the surrounding states because his crafted parts have been put into use across quite an area plus from around the country, he had several parts on order along with

From Scott Bordelon: Words cannot describe what Mark’s friendship meant to me. He was more of a dad to me than my own dad. Everything he did came from the heart. I feel very blessed to have been his friend. I will cherish the phone call I received the morning he passed and all the memories of Mark for the rest of my life. He was definitely one of the rare people God puts into your life. We will keep his family in our prayers.

collaboration with other creators for various inno-vations. Mark was one of those rare people who are gifted with machinist expertise and combined with great creativity for designs and improvements, and at the same time being a non-eccentric, normal guy. As a remnant of good news, he definitely conclud-ed life doing what he enjoyed most. He had just finished his intended refined-edition of the bell-housing for the Weber motor. He had just recently paid off the milling machine which he was able to figure out and program and which he valued so highly. Most regrettably, he will be greatly missed.

Rudy Graffeo writes: He was always taking pictures of gyros at every meet or fly-in he attended. You never saw Mark without his camera. He was always asking ques-tions about the different gyros he saw. Mark was always looking for a better way to build gyros. Mark has built parts for so many people in the PRA, not just Chapter 20, he was in touch with so many gyro builders & pilots thru the Rotorcraft Forum. His user name on the Rotorcraft Forum was “Friendly” & I think that name describes his personality perfect.

When the news of Marks death broke there was an outpouring of emails and forum posts wishing con-dolences. This is an email I received from Marks son: I just received my fathers email and wanted to thank everyone for their love and support nothing seems to make this better except to hear from the chapter you guys were all truly cherished and well respected by my dad he always spoke highly of everyone. Everyone has family and that is something you cannot choose, but you guys were a different breed of family to him on behalf of my father I would like to thank everyone for all that you have given to my dad, and if you knew him then you would know that a friend-ship is all he asked for and was the best thing you guys could ever give him. I have worked out the kinks in the front nose wheel on his machine and I will be flying it in memory of him at the Opelousas meeting God willing. Once against thanks to all. I’m planning to attend the Opelousas meet on May 12th and I’m really looking forward to seeing Mark’s machine there as his KB4 is what inspired me to want a KB.

Texas Rotorcraft Association

Report of Texas Rotorcraft Asso-ciation (TRA) meeting Saturday,

March 24, 2012

Remember the words from the song “Home of the Range”, the ones that go, “Where the skies are not cloudy all day”? The Olney Texas, airport could have been the inspiration for those lyrics at the March meeting of the Texas Rotorcraft Asso-ciation (TRA). It was blue skies, gentle winds, and folks having fun. At midday, nearly everyone took a break from the activities to enjoy the haute cuisine prepared by celebrity chef John Key. The main course was his delectable phraguine furtieur ala commode faux pas (The closest English translation for this French delicacy is “grilled hot dog with ze mustard and relish.”) Immediately after the meal, CFI Gerhard Deffner presented a slide show of his motorized glider adventures, including flights from Germany to Iceland and from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to Abu Dhabi in a Stemme motor glider. After the show, Gerhard and Bob O’Dell rolled out Bob’s Ximango Motorglider onto the tarmac to show folks an example of one of these long winged, long dis-tance flyers. As usual during most TRA events, CFI Henry Fos-ter gave rides and instruction in his modified RAF gyroplane. Bryant Hummer came from Wichita, Kansas, to start his flight training while awaiting the first shipment of the Dominator kit that he’ll be building. Speedy Adams, from Canada, also got some flying time with Henry. Speedy is building a single-place Monarch Butterfly with a Jabiru en-gine. Other out-of-state attendees included Jimmy Ca-den from Mississippi and Michael Bisbing from

Alaska. While Jimmy’s in the area, he’s getting some fixed-wing flight instruction from John McClanahan, who was also at the meeting. If the fixed-wing training isn’t already part of Jimmy’s long-range plan to eventually pilot a rotorcraft, I’m sure he’ll succumb. It’s inevitable. Michael has been residing at the airport in his mobile mansion for the past several months while building a Savannah VG airplane. He’s rac-ing to finish it and fly it to Alaska before those summer days arrive in Texas when it gets so hot the devil himself wishes he’d listened to his brother-in-law and stayed at home. Another note-worthy celebrity at the meeting was David Dontonio. David is the flight engineer on nearly all of the most recent Carter Copter test flights. He’ll be bringing us a special briefing on the Carter Copter at the next TRA meeting on Saturday, April 28, 2012.

Cyclic Lock

Built by Gyro Jake and installed on Rick Mar-tins machine. The idea of course is that when the stick lock is engaged it puts enough for-ward pressure on the stick to activate the rotor brake. It still keeps the stick from flopping back and forth when the wind catch-es the rotors. And this in turn keeps the ro-tors much more stationary when parked. You'll have to add "disengage stick lock" to your pre-flight check list. Don't ask me how I know.

Rick Martin

Mike Grosshans’s KB3 Finally got the frame painted and started putting it together. I have decided to just have the keel, mast, and axel painted, I will keep the rest of the aluminum unpainted, I really like the contrast of the aluminum against the black. Next step is getting the seat tank, a 58” tall tail from Ernie, and engine mount. Not exactly sure on the engine mount yet but I’m leaning towards getting a 582 engine mount from Ernie and adapting it. I will be getting a blue head 582 from Rotax Rick and plan on 23’ Dragon Wings for the blades.
