It is interesting to note that despite the obvious agedness of this production, the presentation stands the test of time. The organization president is clear and easily understood.
Man...I can't even begin to think how awesome it must have been to live in a time when you could invent a flying machine without some government agency rolling in like a SWAT team to shut you down.
You know Mr Don Donley..this is prob best gyro clip i have seen... and I fly my own Gyro... Dan... thats an awesome video... thank you for making it! :-)
You can see that the overall mass of the gyro must is suspended and balanced from the rotor mast. In the classic pull design the gyro needed a longer tail to balance the large motor mass and supporting structure placed relatively far from the mast. Also a push design frees the front and gives you increased visibility on approach and touch down.
Well done, Dan! That was highly informative and entertaining. I grew up about 2 miles from Ken Brock Manufacturing in Garden Grove California. My dad and I used to peer into Ken's shop window on the weekends and fantasize about owning one of his beautiful machines. I intend to make that a reality in the near future. Your video was inspiring. Thanks again!
Nothing in the history about Ken Wallis and "Little Nellie"? It was for me the introduction to the incredible machine that was the autogyro, and I suspect for many others. I learned about Benson long after I knew about the principles of autogyro flight.
"Even today people still think that they cant teach themselves to fly. And who taught Orville Wright/Juan de Civeara to to fly. Again we massively underestimaten our forebears.
@ekul011 You do not need a pilots license for a gyrocopter as long as it is under 250 lbs, goes slower than 65 MPH, and holds less than 5 gallons of fuel.

That's fantastic Dan. Thanks. How about the sport pilot model?
