Judging by your comment, you have never looked through a crappy 1980's video camera. No excuse for the modern camera guys. Trashy, subpar, videography is shameful.
I love the video! But I witnessed a gyro castastrofic gyro accident at a young age, the pilot was doing somewhat similar things and all was well. But then when he finished and when to altitude for a fly over something when terribly wrong and his gyro literally fell from the sky about 100 feet into a soy bean field. The frame of the gyro was buried about 8 inches into the field. Of course the pilot was killed. I spoke to the investigator as I and only two others actually saw the incident without tree obstructions. The investigator would not answer any questions I had, but grilled us on what we seen. This happened at Kankakee Koerners airport in Illinois, circa 1975. I would love to fly but I think my PTSD fear is too strong.
Damn, Wolfie's got some skills. Always dreamed of flying one of these, ever since I was a little kid. In my 50's now and 300 lbs, guess I'll have to hope I do it in my next life.
this is the kind of pilot that a simulation creator should consult and test with. we need realistic training devices to help new pilots develop muscle memory instincts. Then, handling dangerous situations can be avoided, and prevent crashes.
What machine is he flying? Is it a a custom machine? I always though Gyro's are supposed to be heavy, since they have such a low glide ratio (the lowest?)
This Gyroplane couldn't be licensed in the UK, without a horizontal stabiliser it is very vulnerable to a kind of accident called a push over accident.
THIS MAN IS A PROFESSIONAL AUSTRALIAN GYRO MUSTERING COWBOY THIS MAN PROBABLY HAS 20,000 HOURS OR MORE TO FLY LIKE THIS WHICH IS A NEEDED SKILL IN MUSTERING
Is Wolfie still alive? These gyros are traitorous when hit by an unexpected wind burst in low altitude. I know about an incident where such a demo went wrong - even though the pilot had lots of training and hours on his gyro. He died from the crash.
Yes I am still alive. It takes a lot to rock a gyro at one stage I had been yarding up a mob of cattle in the front edge of a dust storm, some very wild weather that would have grounded anything else.
@@jimwolfe2862 Good to hear. And don't get me wrong, I was hooked at the concept too, but that incident cooled my interest. You are improving the statistics and that's fine with me.
Most of these commenters should never go near anything requiring a little risk, let alone flying. Just load your clinically obese bodies into your Sedans deVille and and cruise safely to the cemetery.
@@jimwolfe2862 keep up the Gr8 flyin'! I'm gettin' 2 old 2 try this calculated flying, butt much respect 4 Ur cool sport flyin'. Someday I 'll get my L S.A. & Gplane! 😊
Nice demonstration of mustering, by the mastery performed by a professional driver without a doubt ... respect!
It's always amazed me how some people can do amazing things and their friends can't even run a video camera!!!
It’s a shame but only to common- on u tube

Regardless of the quality, we got to see the video. First world whiners.
This pilot needs to stand-in for James Bond's next Gyro escape scene.
Best flying skills I have seen and I watch a lot of videos.
There are old pilots and bold pilots but there are no old, bold pilots
Wow excellent control! Worth watching more than once!

Nice point landings, who need a choppa!😎
Pretty amazing

Nah mate you will be right just do it, there are plenty of gyros that will handle your weight.
That was amazing

Master
👍👍👍amazing..yess nice
He knows his Gyro plane. I've only ever seen the UK's Roger Savage do this kind of flying and he has thousands of gyro plane flying hours
Marko Kloos's Palladium Wars military sf book series has a "gyrofoil". Not sure if it's the same thing.
Anyone know what model/brand this is?
Высший пилотаж, дух захватывает
Wow, that landing at 1:23 ...
This is some of the best single seat flying I've seen , are there any more video's of "Wolfie"..??? Any links? I could not find it at the ASRA site.
I don't have any videos myself but I think some of my mates may have some.
@@jimwolfe2862 post more brother love watching from 🇨🇦 as I take my gyrocopter flight training hopefully one day just as good!!!!
@@shawnwright5332 I have a youtube channel now it's my name.
@@jimwolfe2862 I don't see any gyrocopters there?
@@shawnwright5332 just search youtube for jim wolfe should get to my channel
super!!!
*_COOL!!!!_*
Wolfie aint gonna be agile lying straight in a coffin 🤣🤣
Don't tempt inexperienced pilots to do this!
What machine is he flying? Is it a a custom machine?
I always though Gyro's are supposed to be heavy, since they have such a low glide ratio (the lowest?)
Australian made by gyroscopic rotorcraft, what most of the australian mustering is done with
Nice! How much runway do you need for initial take-off?
The first take off in the video is a take off from standstill it has a very power full pre rotator.
Ас !!! Отличный пилотаж !!!
RIP Wolfie!
Huh
@@jimwolfe2862 Just in case! 🚁⚰💀
That's how good you get when you've been mustering cats for a living.;-)
Wifey also has good skills....
He's flying on the edge of unloading rotors
Not even close to unloading the rotors, all done with well positive G
I know, its about the Gyro and thats how I found this video but I would like to know what music this is.
I don't know what the music is, but it sounds very much in the style of AC/DC to me.
Wow! I thought he was gonna buy the farm then.
This Gyroplane couldn't be licensed in the UK, without a horizontal stabiliser it is very vulnerable to a kind of accident called a push over accident.
These gyro's do have a horizontal stab, have another look.
Nice flying. Is your life insurance paid up?
Yes, pretty low altitude for a lot of those moves
Is he still flying or did he get his wings? I hope he was just showinc off this once for the video.
Yes still flying
Wolfie doesnt happen to know a craig robson?
No I don't who is he?
@@jimwolfe2862 someone I know, I suppose 'wolfie' is a popular nickname
I hope the Camera man recovers from his Parkinson's.
Супер !
Aussie gyros all seem to have very tall masts. Why is this?
to help smooth out two per rev vibes
Some People have Buffed out with less Effort ...😳😅
What kind of Gyrocopter is this?
Gyroscopic rotorcraft from NSW
People who push the limits will eventually find out where the limits are and usually too late.
THIS MAN IS A PROFESSIONAL AUSTRALIAN GYRO MUSTERING COWBOY THIS MAN PROBABLY HAS 20,000 HOURS OR MORE TO FLY LIKE THIS WHICH IS A NEEDED SKILL IN MUSTERING
Встречный ветер ...
Great pilot, very scary. I know of someone who did this with only about 6 hrs of instruction and killed himself.
pepe cohetes → Agreed. *THOSE MANAUVERS* are *NOT* for an inperienced gyroplane pilot....

Essentially unwatchable.
Someone twitching with Parkinsonism and attempting to use a video device at the same time.

RIP
Why RIP
The flying is impressive. The camera operator sucks.
This is the sort of thing that drives up statistics not in a good way .
Be reading an obituary .
Good Luck ...... going to need it .
Luck doesn't come into it mate, all calculated:)

Had to stop the video at the first guitar chord.
Terrible footage he was taking this video
