[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 5120730, member: 1664"] My uncle in 1965 was building and flying gyro's, that's what got me hooked with the simplicity of the physic's. Helicopters lift come from down push and gyros lift is just the opposite. Gryo's glide at a 15% angle with all power off with full control and you can land on a tennis court. The danger is in landing a prop plane and the danger in a Gyro is in the take off. Ground force effect while taking off in a gyro has friend'd up many people. I live about 200 miles north of Houston in the country. A friend of mine that was in [B]pilots for paws [/B]flew me to Dallas, and other cities, as a dog handler. He and I were flying back to Marshal, Tx and he diverted to fly over my property. Nosed down from 2,500ft to about 1,000ft doing a barrel role. My wife was in our front yard when it happened and was not pleased because she knew I was in my friends plane. About once a week he would fly over and do a barrel roll. Living in the country you hear sounds from far off and I could recognize the sound of his engine. I would say to my wife, here comes "5 a clock Charlie", MASH reference for the young folk's. That's where my barrel roll reference came from. Found a school for gyro's around Tomball, Tx. for around a $100.00 an hour flight time and it is on my bucket list. 2nd on my bucket list is doing aerobatics in an open cockpit Bi-plane. Long missive, but it is better than explaining to folks why I SCABED from the teamsters. [/QUOTE]
