About Carey Shurley
Carey started flying model helicopters in 1977 and his first helicopter was a Kavan Alouette. Around 1997 he got interested in gasoline powered helicopters and bought an Xcell Gas Graphite. Since then he's always had at least one gas helicopter flying. In 2011 Carey started Gas Powered Thoughts, a forum dedicated to the gas helicopter enthusiast and focused on both providing assistance to pilots considering trying them out and also demonstrating that gas powered helicopters have reached a new level of performance. He has built most of the modern gas powered helicopters and has consulted with manufacturers in the design of new gas helicopters.
