Oshkosh 2002

Magni-USA received one of two Ken Brock Outstanding Workmanship Awards at the AirVenture 2002 on July 27 for his M-16 trainer.
Greg Gremminger flew the Magni to the convention from Perryville, Mo. and flew at the convention during the rotorcraft fly time each day on the ultralight field. There was a change this year....homebuilt rotorcraft were allowed to fly down "show center" a few times during the convention. With the exception of Joe Boren who flew his KB3 as a tribute to Ken Brock during two of the airshows, the Magni was the only other gyro flying. Let's see the score...10,000 fixed wing aircraft, eight homebuilt helicopters....and two gyros!
