Barry lives in Matthews, NC and built his Bee basically stock from the documentation package. Here is his gyro at Bensen Days (Wauchula, 2004) where it received the "Best Workmanship" award.

Ron Awad did the early test-flight honors and brought the machine to Bensen Days to show it off. Here is Ron getting ready to commit aviation in front of the Bensen Day's crowd.  Ron's comments on the first flight of this Bee can be read here.
