    When I watch these sort of videos from the USA I always think I should have moved to the place, you can't blow your nose in the UK without getting some jobsworths permission..When the Soviet Union fell apart they shipped the remains to the UK and rebuilt it..

      Don't be too hard on yourself. There's a large gyro community in the UK. And training is required.
      And in fact it was research done some 20 years ago in the UK that revealed why Bensen type gyros like this one were crashing and killing their pilots so often. The answer was non alignment of centers of gravity and thrust, leading to powered push over. After that, pusher gyros began to be constructed quite differently.
      This is not a safe design, due to where the engine and thrust line is located, as compared to where the overall CG is. The horizontal tailplane is also not large.

    I love this style of gyrocopter, I just love the open view, the ultralight look and weight to it. The simple layout of the craftt

    Very Good! Tive a oportunidade de conhecer um Gyro há mais de 50 anos atrás! Alguns voavam enganchados! Congratulheichons!

    My love for gyros dates back to the Igor Bensen days in the sixties. Though I learnt to fly microlights at 50 , I never had the opportunity to fly a gyro. That's the dream of flight I never achieved.

      As a kid growing up in North Carolina, I often saw Igor Benson test flying his gyro's. It was fascinating to see more man than machine flying by. We used to yell, "It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's Igor!"

    A pilot that was flying a small Cessna tells the story of how he came up on one of the early Benson gyro's, As he flew along side of it he says he cudnt see the rotors spinning cuz they wer spinning so fast and he says it looked like some guy sitting in a chair waving at him at 2,000 ft

    I used to love the gyrocopter’s but was watching a documentary where some folks were exploring way up in Alaska or the Arctic and was using gyrocopters to find the best route through the snow and terrain for the ground crew when about 1500 ft one of the gyros turned upside down and fell out of the sky like a rock yep a sad day.

    The music in the start of the video reminds me of what got me hooked to gyrocopters, PilotWings 64... Sadly, atleast for me, I'm not in the financial position to own one myself. Nor does my country allow kit built gyrocopters/ gyroplanes, at this moment atleast. I'd sell 1 kidney and my manhood to fly one..

      Honey be about $3/bottle. In reality, most gyros have two relatively big ticket costs: the engine and the rotor - each potentially in the thousands of dollars.
