I bought mine second hand. I would recommend getting a bensen plan and slightly modifying it to have suspension and perhaps a lower thrust line if needed (drop tail like the yellow gyro in my previous videos)

Agreed, less and less people are picking up these homemade machines. Mine cost $62 (aud) a year to register and is cheaper than a car. Car engine, cheap and simple maintenance. I have this and the other gyro with a pod and windscreen.. but this open one is the most fun!!!

@@omeobandit9928 Damn! That's pretty much pocket change, with a little bit of exaggeration. Honestly I do not know how the laws here would be about flying something homemade, but my little crafting and postapoc loving brain loves that self-built flight is possible, hah! Looking forward to more vids from ya. Take care lad!

Was his name max tate? (the auto electrician)

@omeobandit9928 yeh, max. He moved to Vic for a while, last time I caught up with him he was living outback of Darwin

@@Gusto0172 He's still flying, lives up in wagait beach, NT. Check my other videos, I've got a few with him. He's a good mate :)

@@omeobandit9928 Thanks for that. Yeh, that is where I caught up with him, at Wagait. Do say hi to him from Angus, next time you see him. By the way, where are you based? I am in Indonesia, Aus base is Cairns. Cheers.

@@Gusto0172 will do, my friend. cheers from coober pedy, SA!

@@chimpychimp4921 yes it's very safe flying country out here, many places to land if an engine fails 🤩🫡

@@omeobandit9928 Well, there's also the added bonus that you have room to take off if you have to land! My gyro can LAND in a little field or a generous clearing. But then I'm, y'know, stuck. Lol.

@@chimpychimp4921 Yes, i know the struggle 😅 but as long as you can walk away with 2 arms and 2 legs, thats why gyros rule!

@@omeobandit9928 Amen!

@@vinniemon-i5h good point, I should zip tie a spare pair of thongs to the seat next time just for emergencies 😜

@ and a gallon of water could save your life and a knife or some sort of weapon for unexpected predators

@@vinniemon-i5h now we are sounding more and more like mad Max in the apocalypse 🤩🫡

@@humanbean3 I plan to make some teaching videos, just need to find a microphone first that I can speak with 🫡

@@scotttaxdal5297 the wind was strong but smooth and steady, I just enjoy tossing the machine around as it feels relaxing. I agree with you, they don't look like an flying machine at all 😂

@omeobandit9928 Thanks for the ride!

Thanks ramjet, it actually wasn't gusty, it was a steady but strong wind. I like to toss it around a bit because it feels relaxing and keeps me entertained 😂👍

@@mindfulmunchkin1215 not at all, Its a pleasure to fly 🕊️

@@omeobandit9928 keep living the dream

@@mindfulmunchkin1215 thankyou sir 🫡

@@joshuakerr9194 yes sir, great engine

The bike is designed for it and this is well under its limit. Tyres and brake pads are replaceable :)

thankyou sir

this video leaves out a lot of context mate 😂

Kommt doch nur darauf an, wie Du unterwegs bist!

@@ruidias6333 what makes it look like a maintenance failure?

I sold it and now i have another one

What are you flying now and where? Any videos please. Thanks

@@hrfb9696 im flying an ea81 powered ross symes open frame, and the dark coloured ej18 pod gyro thats in some of my other videos

Its such a nice engine and can be very powerful with a few small mods. Mine on a different gyro pushes 100hp with ported heads, slightly different cam and compression.

@@omeobandit9928 Also had the cam modded on mine, cleaned the heads up which were from the EFI heads so I converted it to fuel injection and electronic ignition, essentially full FADEC. Always started first time and no problems with carb ice or plugs fouling. Cheap parts too!

@@vumba1331 Awesome setup!

I'd better make some more videos of this machine. I've been flying it a bit lately. It is VERY powerful.
