- Numerous questions about where to buy, how much it costs and how long to build:
I bought a basic kit from starbeegyros.com in 2012. All parts were made from materials that were cut to size, drilled, processed and so on. The rest was acquired as needed.
All aluminum pipes is 6061-t6, steel parts is 4130, bolts AN.
I can´t say how much because I built patiently (about 3 years). I bought many parts in England, France, Germany, USA, Russia, Ukraine, Spain. Turning and milling work are expensive and difficult to find, who could do it..
The final cost largely depends on the availability of turning and milling machines and free time.
At that time, I could buy a ready-made set (without rotor, engine, instruments), but much more expensive. I decided that I would do it myself, so I bought a basic set, and bought all the other parts as soon as my project was ready.
I tried to capture the step-by-step process of creation in the photos that I took at each stage. Then I made this video out of them. Building process: • Gyrobee gyroplane, hom...
I described the whole construction process in detail in my blog: rotorpt.blogspot.com (in russian)
I downloaded the drawings for free on the Internet, the keywords are Gyrobee by Ralph Taggart.
Many thanks to Alexander Lameko (aka. ABM) for the translation of the drawings into Russian, and subsequent consultations on the construction. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
This looks extremely dangerous, useful and fun at the same time!
Nothing dangerous about it, u cant crash it just like a helicopter, well unless u lose the Jesus nut.
What makes you think that is useful? Dangerous and fun, I agreed.
@@TuomoTamminen exactly my thoughts !
I would go to school with this
Pablo escobar adoraria ter um desses
That engine sounds perfect - exactly the kind of sound that gives me confidence to risk my life.
Every day you step out the house is a risk to your life. Have fun while you can
the old moped engine be like:
go whenever you want, i'll help you, just give me a fuel and oil!
@@nikostalk5730DID SOMEBODY SAY OILLLLL???🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
@@lamppostyeetlolxdxdxdxdxd9884 we have to go on a freedom mission to free all those poor barrels of oil
Nothing like trusting your life to a go cart with Harbor Freight Predator engine with a propeller. I’ll pass unless there’s a parachute 🪂
As many times as I have watched this...I'm still amazed that a two stroke internal combustion engine is producing that kind of power!!! Great piloting of course..
2 strokes generally produce higher HP per lb... thats the whole reason for thier use, in small power tools also, you can use a tiny 2 stroke engine in a weed eater instead of having to put a heavier 4 stroke in there that would usually need to be twice as big or turn twice as fast as the 2 stroke to make similar power.
2 strokes are more powerful, every other stroke is a power stroke.
It's all about horsepower to weight ratio. There are also many cases of turbocharging, and supercharging even increases that ratio.
????
2 strokes produce more HP per CC than 4 strokes.
I like that you can see his skill progress during the flight. Very good he learned it so quick
I was thinking that the landing would be rough but it was incredibly smooth , wow! Amazing!
My thoughts exactly.
I was thinking on ways to how to break the least amount of bones during the eventual crash landing. Truly a surprise.
And short!
Exhilarating. Nothing can replace the feeling of the body flying. Released from gravity. Looking down and being above all of life’s hindrances and the freedom that comes with it.
My thoughts exactly but you put it so much better than I.
Then he goes home and juggles knives!
this is why I fly fpv. I dont have to worry about dying and I still feel like Im flying 😂
@@Brian-S Well, you may worry less about it, nevertheless, it's coming for you, one way or another, today, tomorrow, 10 years from now, you just don't know how or when ;-)... lol, I couldn't resist. Ironic would be, getting hit / ran over while flying fpv. Yeah, apparently the older I get the more bizzarre and morbid I become. Maybe that's because I feel my time is closer, lol.
The Opposition is true. Young cannot think about more dependency than wenn flying.you Dependance on so much.the contrary of freedom. But a nice adventure though
Amazing flying, courage, and expertise. Well done and welcome back to Earth!
new rust update?
hahahaha yes
First flight experience in Rust is like 90% fatal, so this is definitely an upgrade
Deus me livre de voar no tico tico desses carne fatiada
No he does not
Totally amazed by these machines since I was a child. The first I'd seen was in the movie The Road Warrior- we must have watched that movie hundreds of times when I was a kid, my favorite parts being the scenes with the Gyro in them. Now I am 49... and perhaps it is time to pursue the long forgotten childhood dream and build one?? Thank you for this video, as it has sparked a great deal of inspiration and set my mind turning!
Never seen anyone beat the snake before, who are ya?
The gyro in that movie was an air command. I think you can still buy plans and build one.
yes the same exact reason im intreged by these is the that movie im just amazed how anyone can build one of these with enough time and skill and how there actually more safe than a helicopter
In Mad max too :)
plz do not buikd one
I’m a fixed wing CFI and it still amazes me that these things fly. Nice landing by the way. 👍
I have friends that wont step foot in a 172 with me. I'm that way with these things lol
IT amazes me more there isnt constant "Was Decapitated by the blades" on the news EVERY time some one decides to fly one of theses whacky contraptions..as areodynamic as a bumble bee yet it flies..
@@homelessEh that is part of why the rotor is so high above the pilot's head if I recall. wouldn't want to go waving to anyone on the ground though....
Yeah, really! Your first time and you set it down on a dime. Very cool.
@@believeinjesus6972 I appreciate that you posted a Bible verse. I urge you to stop using the NIV though. It is incredibly corrupt as many of the modern translations are. The King James Bible is what you should be using.
Little Nelly lives thanks for sharing you did nice work building this flying and filming.
Looks very smooth interesting wrist movements and angles to turn it either way I might add.. More please....
That thing looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!
You're doing the complete repertoire during your first flight: ascend, stabilizing, banking, landing, and more, all to no fault. Not bad for a maiden flight.
So many pilots forget about the landing part on their first flight
Probably a helo pilot.
@@TheRausing1 yeah it’s easy to forget, but they all come down
@@lelotz eventually, and in one way or another 😬
Complete BS first flight 😂
I found myself exclaiming “wow” multiple times throughout this video! So cool! One of the neatest videos I’ve watched in a long time!
Thanks!
Well done, great video and nice build. I'm Wayne Watson and I'm happy to see you used the Watson Tail and looks like its working fine for you. Some of the best aerial footage I've seen to date yet. Good luck and again nice looking machine.
Feeding one’s inner “James Bond” (the Sean Connery version, that is). Just awesome! Thank you for posting.
One thing I always appreciate about Gyro’s is that clutch engaging and the dramatic wind up before starting the takeoff like a fantastical magical time machine spooling up to send you into a distant past, none more so than in this machine. I am impressed by how balanced and smooth she is, hardly any vibration at all, given the crazy physics of what’s going on just about your head, that is impressive.
To me it’s all about spooling at startup then winding up through the balanced vortex spiraling at high speed down the atmospheric spatial base layer. I live for it. Call me crazy.
@@Arcticfox7 damn arctic foxes wildin tf out these days💀💀
You have the whole top rotor as your dampener, it's genious..!
Speaking of the clutch why has no one considered possibly maybe it's already been done using a torque converter from a automatic transmission
Exactly what I was thinking. I expected it to be very jiggly. Of course, camera is mounted on his head so that dampens some of it, but still you don't see the instrument pod or his knees wobbling around. The 172s, etc. I fly can't even claim that at low RPM.
Wow !! That was equal parts exhilarating and terrifying. They sure do come to stop quickly after landing.
As an aviation enthusiast this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen😊
That looked like a lot of fun, little scary but that's the fun involved! I love it!
This thing fills me with both terror and desire.
That's what she said...
You drive that flying chair like a chef 👩🍳
The landing was marvelous 🎉
I've been fixed wing my whole life with little interest in RW. But I have to admit that looks like a whole lot of fun.
That landing was stunning
I've seen these fly before, but never in a first-person view like this, thanks for the share!
pretty maneuverable that is something I really appreciate. This thing turns on a dime and lands anywhere. Sure looks fun… Be safe and thanks for posting
Awesome job. Thanks for the ride
I'm 67. I was in love with Bensen Gyrocopters when I was about 14 or so. Now, though, as beautiful as this would be, it gives me the willies to watch it.
Wow, that thing could bank! And such a quick landing. Seems like incredible amounts of control! Looks fun!
This was very enjoyable, watching from my couch. Thanks for documenting.
The experience of flying ✈ in the sky is really amazing ✨️
I rode in a two seater once. Loved it. I was amazed at how smooth the ride was.
When I was a kid, I remember buying a flight magazine and it had an add in the back to order a build it yourself kit. I ordered that set of plans because they were free, but the cost for a 16 year old kid was like being a millionaire lol. This makes me want to go take another look for one. Thanks for posting! ✌🚁

Awesome! Congrats!
Guess you were learning “on the fly”!!! It was obvious that you were gaining knowledge, experience and confidence with each pass. Congratulations!!! The first time in any reality flight experience is a real accomplishment. May you always fly successfully !
Что бы количество посадок всегда ровнялось количеству взлётов.
Super - duper flying!! That is an enormous hay bale on the runway!!
special thanks to local farmers, they did not clean it for a long time
looks way more awesome than i expected
oh my word.. I've got so many questions about this death contraption... ill spend the rest of the night doing research. thank you for sharing!
Try it out on RUST.
Amazing how this class of aircraft has withstood the test of time. It's such an underappreciated craft, I think. Not a lot of people really know about, or understand it, these days. Thanks for sharing.
And people are still willing to give their lives for a little thrill....woopee !
@@rcs3030 Actually, autogyros are capable of autorotating back to the ground, safely, just like helicopters, in an engine out situation. Principals are the same. they really are quite safe. This particular type of craft was invented back in the 1923. It still works just as well now, as it did back then. Strapping into a rocket, or jumping off a cliff, with a wingsuit? Now, that's a real leap of faith! LOL
if anything, advancements in basic understanding of sturctural design, material science, and mechanical engineering makes these more safe and reliable than ever
@@manitoba-op4jx Indeed. Just learning about corrosive electrolysis' affect on differing metal types, in contact with each other, has allowed the aircraft, and automotive industries to produce far safer aircraft, and vehicles, than when they were first introduced.
@@rcs3030 in guessing you're one of those waisted lives being super safe and boring people 🙄 yeah you have fun with that oh wait nevermind fun isn't safe enough for you 🤣🤣🤣
Hard to believe that only 300 rpms of this rotor gets you airborne.
Winged airplanes fly at 0 RPM
Uh.. what..
@@jared123123 He's comparing rotary vs fixed wing aircraft.
@@deltawing9 ...they fly at about 25,000rpm, or 2700 rpm if propeller. Unless you are talking about some futuristic, fictional craft that doesn't exist in the real world, then you can make up whatever you please.
@@refluxcatalyst7190 they are probably talking about gliders lol
Looks Like a Flying Home depot trailer, but wow that is pretty darn awesome!! Safe Flights!!
Wow, that landing was impressive.
That final turn then subsequent landing was very well executed indeed. 🙂👍
Amazing...But I didn't expect it to drive forward like a motorcycle...
I can totally see myself going grocery shopping in that 😄😄😄
Beautiful scenery...
I want one of these! That looks like so much fun!
I´m affraid of heights, but I would never believe what is this little bee capable of!
Also this seems like perfect fun if you are competent flier (and you are).
That is so amazing. Looks exhilarating but also pretty terrifying, only because it would be so hard to do anything if something goes wrong. Thanks so much!
Other than wearing a parachute.
Well, if the engine fails, you cand do “planing” with the heli rotors
That landing was perfect. A very skilled pilot. Great job. I liked and sub.
As long as you have rotor RPM, and/or can trade altitude or airspeed for rotor RPM - you should be able to land this thing.
Basically, if i understand the concept of an autogyro correctly - its like having a helicopter in a constant auto rotation condition.
Actually it wouldnt be that bad since the rotor is a free wheeling rotor and controls are still effective as long as you utilize your altitude properly. you could land this if the engine died by nosing down since controls are cable pulls on the stick. this thing cant hover like a helicopter it uses the forward motion from the prop to freewheel the rotor. the same mechanic is used in an engine out helicopter landing scenario called autorotational landing. having more forward velocity and altitude gives you more range to find a good option to emergency land. its similar to a fixed wing but instead of a fixed wing its an autorotational rotor wing.
on startup there is a clutch that can give the rotor initial rotation but once you release the clutch and start moving forward the rotor is just spinning by itself from the moving air and providing lift at the same time since the leading edge and trailing edge have different angle of attack therefore different aero drag
if the control cables however were not properly installed then yeah your doomed
I would fly this thing to work everyday, flipping off all the traffic as I go!
The owner of the Langley Group, in England, flies his own helicopter to and from work, daily......

It’s cool that it sounds like a vacuum cleaner with a throttle. Thanks for sharing, this was fun to watch!
Thanks for letting us ride along!
Congrats! I couldn't even tell when you landed that was SO smooth! Nice job. :-)
I think I was about 6 when I saw ads in popular mechanics, even before Bond . . Ever since then just like most kids , I wanted to fly . Went ULinstead but these look like a blast
Thanks for the Ride along. Usually I don't like heights but that looks pretty nice. Thumbs up😊
Spectacular flying and wow that landing was something else, you have my sub and hi from the UK
Bize ne denizaltıdan ? :))
I like how can you see it wants to fly straight! A very stable yet nimble aircraft. Amazing!
Weee!
More trustworthy than a helicopter 🚁.
@@jameshall890 Even if a helicopter stalls it can "glide" down safely. Its not a plummet but a descent to land.
@@saadkhawar8039 helicopters aren't planes they don't glide down
@@damuffinman6895 When a helicopter engine fails, the pilot begins a maneuver called an autorotation. As the helicopter glides during descent, upflowing air keeps the main rotor turning and storing potential energy. To land, the pilot converts that energy into Lift to cushion the landing for a smooth touchdown.so yes, helicopters do glide.
Almost looked like an autorotation landing...that was awesome!
Good Flight.
Building is one thing, flying is another!
Nice
Work!
Looks like loads of fun.
Godspeed and Blessings to You and Yours. Thanks for sharing
You have balls of steel. There…I said it! Thanks for posting as I felt like I was on the flight with you. Great video!
This is awesome and amazing. What I wouldn't give to shorten my commute to work with this :)
Your commute, or your life? 😂
@@warthogA10 lolol for real.
At 40 MPH it might not shorten your commute by very much.

Excellent pilot. Now this is flying at it's best.
Good POV of how crazy it is to go all the way with that machine.
Man that looks fun.... Great first flight.
Increíble !! Me sentí volando a su lado !! Hermoso video y maquina extraordinario piloto !
Amazing. Reminds me of my first and only glider flight i once did as a passanger. I want to do hobby flying too. One of my main motivations for getting a good education and job so i can afford it.
If more people had this mindset there would be a lot more happiness in the world. Taking responsibility for one's life often leads to being fulfilled and deeply satisfied. Great point of view!

Incredible landing! I love auto gyros!
That was a very short and smooth landing!
You have a lot more guts than I do, brother! Stay safe!!👍
Looks so nimble, and like one hell of a good time. I would have been afraid of winds but could have sounded worse than they were and I don't know shit about going arial (quite unfortunately!). Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’ll share the air with you in a year or two. I’m still twisting bolts. Long time dream. Great job!
How is it going? 😉
that landing was cake...good flight
👌👌Doing good! Fast control.
A friend and I built a Benson gyrocopter years ago and spent many hours flying it. They are sure fun to fly.
Had a taster flight, best experience ever, the guy let me fly it (2seater) and after he showed me what it could do, divebombing rollercoaster motorbike of the sky I am still impressed after 20 years
Bloody great mate !!
Dude this was entertaining. Blessings and be safe out there.
What a great flight! Nice flying.
Gee it pulled up to a stop pretty darn quick! Not so fast taking off tho. Looks like fun!
Just checking in... You still alive bro?
It’s not really about living...
What a beautiful machine
excellent landing, very nice airport you have there!
wish I had one like that for my paramotor
Поздравляю! Удачных полётов!

Great Pilot! Amazing 🎉
Looks like great fun man
That was a fast landing and a quick stop. I love it 🤓
🤓🤓🤓🤓
Amazing! You really are a good pilot in a gyro.
giant set of balls on this guy. awesome!
I hope in the future we will be able to solo travel with similar type of vehicle. Imagine flying to different cities visiting friends or just going on camping trips in these
I first saw this is the Mad Max movie and was fascinated every since. Looks like so much fun
What a total blast! Fascinating aircraft principle, shame it doesn't go very fast. Massive fun factor though :) Big thumbs up from a Mooney pilot!
Genial mec un beau petit vol bien sympa bravo ❤👍👌
I actually had a very vivid dream about flying such a craft in my neighborhood, yet at the time i had no idea this existed
Excellent flying!
