Yes, there have been a few EAA One Week Wonder events, but in my mind at least that did not count. &nbsp;Usually, every One Week Wonder project, has the best of the best builders on those projects, not to mention the huge amount of volunteers that assist as well.<\/p>\n<p>Then I stumbled upon Kieth Furst in the ultralight section. &nbsp;His was a truly self built project. &nbsp;Yes he did have a builder assist support from the folks at Cierva Aero, but it this man works a full time job and he was flying in under a year! &nbsp;That is what got my attention. &nbsp;Not only was it an Autogyro MTO Classic, but it was equipped with a Rotax 912iS injected engine as well. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As this aircraft normally comes with a Rotax carburetted engine, Kieth had to fabricate all the additional mounting and put in the extra wiring. &nbsp;He truly made a thing of beauty. &nbsp;Here is his story &#8230;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 30px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 30px;\" colspan=\"2\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_70947\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0KKJ8pXvcmw?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=0&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oshkosh, WI.
