I had the pleasure of being able to make a short visit to Bensen Days on Friday, where I was able to look at three different versions of the Gyrobee on the flight line.

Bo Seigneous has been bringing his Bee to the fly-in for several years now. This year he flew in from Lake Placid, Florida and was flying up a storm.

Rick Martin's machine is built very well and it won't be long until it is flying!

Barry Kropelin's new Bee took to the air for the first time near the end of March with Ron Awad doing the flight honors.

Barry was busy over Bensen Days weekend so Ron brought it down to show off Barry's workmanship and do some flying. I bet Barry is glad he did, for the machine took "Best Workmanship" honors in addition to its fine flying!
