Iterations & Being In The Aircraft Business

Back in 1997 when the "original" HoneyBee Gyro (G1) began, it took many attempts to get things right.  For instance, there were two major efforts to get the engine right; Kawasaki & ROTAX. There were three iterations of the Main Gear; the third one was right on. There were at least three iterations of the Nose Gear. There were three iterations of the Engine Mount. There were two iterations of the Tail Surfaces. There were two iterations of the Control Stick. You get my point here.... Coming full circle with the G2 Series, the Main Gear on the Ultralight and Microlight is purely the third iteration from the G1 of 1998 and it works just as good today as it did then. The Main Landing Gear of the HoneyBee G2 SP-HP only took two iterations and the 2PT took three and both have achieved their design goal of being able to handle up to 6G's! How many would you like?

One might ask why I am telling you this?...it is because I want you to have complete confidence in the G2 platform. It is a tribute to quality engineering and material selection that has been tested in "real life" flying, testing and disappointments over fifteen years. Speaking on behalf of the staff, I (we) speak from a context of trying, flying, crying and a commitment to build not only the safest Gyroplanes in the world, but ones that we fly and are proud to be associated with. 

Having said this, I am "tickled pink" about the HoneyBee G2 line and hope that you continue to love what you see coming from a little Gyroplane company in Hastings, Michigan as much as I  do.  There are solutions for things that no one has even asked for yet and there is more to come!

Color me pink,
