amazing...classic

gyrocopters are the coolest thig ever...

If you came here to learn how to set up a gyroplane/gyrocopter, forget it - this video is worthless. If you want to see a bunch of guys goofin'' around with a carpenter's laser level - which is a nice way to build houses - then enjoy, this is the video for you.

The "morons" hang a gyro...that's an inside joke, y'all.

Rocketeer brought me here Study as she goes, we only got one pass. Drop the ladder!!!. Jump for it Clifford. Lets get out of here.

Birdy is a risk taker. Not always a good idea in the air.

Wow 2006 was 17 years ago

God will be there when you are in a storm.

John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

GOD will be at ever storm

Impressive ....

Awesome!

Great video...👍

Oi amigo amostra o projeto para nós

One of my favorite songs from him, may have been one of the first I heard of his, actually.

Are these gyros or the landing gear still available?

I like the old style gyroplanes. Now that's flying. We should call them Grass Roots Gyroplanes or GRG

auto gyro jump takeoff doesn’t require power so much as torque, and even that torque is applied for only a few seconds. What makes the maneuver a challenge is converting from vertical to horizontal flight before the rotor loses all its energy. To do a jump takeoff an auto gyro must first spin-up the rotor using a pre-rotator, which is either a small auxiliary engine, electric motor, or a power take off (PTO) from the primary thrust engine. It doesn’t take a lot of power to pre-rotate because the rotor is in flat pitch (minimum drag) and the spin-up can take as long as you like. You are pumping the rotor full of potential energy to be ready for the jump. Once the rotor has reached its target RPM, it has to be disengaged from the pre-rotator. This is a safety issue because an auto gyro doesn’t have a tail rotor like a helicopter. If you try a jump takeoff with the pre-rotator still engaged then the body of the auto gyro is going to try to rotate AWAY from the turning rotor and possibly wind up in a ball of wreckage. Not good. You see a jump takeoff is asking the auto gyro to pretend it is a helicopter, which it doesn’t do well without a tail rotor to counteract that torque. What this means is you have to build up all your takeoff power in the rotor before engagement so it had better be enough. And with proper operation it will be. Now you are on the runway, facing into the wind. The rotor has been spun-up by the pre-rotator to the proper speed and the pre-rotator disengaged. You are ready for the jump takeoff. Now you do two things at the same time: 1) you pull up on the cyclic control bar which pitches-up the rotor blades taking them in a millisecond from making no lift to making more lift than the weight of the gyro, and; 2) you push the engine throttle all the way forward creating maximum thrust from the propeller, pushing (or pulling) the gyro through the air. Here is what happens if you are lucky. First the rotor pulls you straight up until all its potential energy is used up at, say, 50 feet. The gyro stays steady because you remembered to disconnect the pre-rotator. While the rotor is snatching you into the sky the engine is coming-in with takeoff power creating thrust that gets the gyro moving forward, making that vital transition from vertical to horizontal flight where rotor lift is created like any wing, by passing through the air. And now you are climbing away under power. There’s a lot to do in a jump takeoff, but you learn fast. And it’s not really that dangerous because the rotor is always producing lift, but if you don’t have the engine it won’t be enough lift to fly.

Love these landing gears

I don't understand why, in the light of obvious design flaws, people still vehemently defend Bensen's design. The relatively high thrust line in combination with no horizontal stabiliser is a problem.

Very nice video

Very smart man but wreckless as you can see. I'd never step foot into one of those things. I signed him off to get his A&P mechanic licence. Sad to see such talent go to waste.

Thank you so much for this song that you wrote! 2 weeks ago I was led to Christ by a young man who did a Bible study in the homeless shelter I'm staying in. If this song hadn't existed I wouldn't be alive today. Thank you Mr. Chapman for this song it saved me from taking my life! You're my favorite singer! God bless you!

Our company has been focusing on developing and selling new products for more than 10 years. I'm a senior researcher at Heimkeeper Co., Ltd.Our company has an idea to reduce propeller noise and vibration of helicopters and drones. We're done with the experiment.We have applied for a utility model and a patent As a result of several experiments with small propellers, the current noise and vibration reduction effect is about 30%.The realization process of this idea is not complicated and simple, but the effect is considered to be a great and innovative invention.Looking forward good news from you soon

Hehe awaome Japanese riding boots

Need more current footage of him, he has exceptional flying abilities

_Beautiful._

Awesome

Please demonstrate a gyro which cannot slam down !!!

Man, that brought back a lot of great memories of a great man. Thanks for making this tribute to him.

Awesome ability

This is a great example of needing more training before flying a gyrocopter. First 100 hours are when you get confident and crash. He was lucky to still be here

Why is Sikorsky more popular than him?

Sorry to see this news. I moved out of the country a few years ago. I used to work with him for many years as his mechanic and inspector. I even signed him off to be able to get his mechanic license. He will be missed. Good man!

Бедный двигатель. Судя по звуку его работы он, прям, напрягается, чтобы человек в кабине улыбался... :)

เขาอุตส่าห์ลงทุนพัฒนาแก้ไขข้อบกพร่องให้โรเตอร์ใบพัดหมุนเร็วกว่าอากาศแต่ยังว่าล่ะสถิติมันหลอกหลอนทำให้คนไม่กล้าลงทุน

Remembered this song from when I was a child, listening to it on 106.7 the fish, always loved it. ❤

Cool video, I have a open cot pit but want to install a cabin where can a buy a shell of the cabin from

Drone copter

👍💯🇧🇷✌️

Is this model available in the market? Thanks

I need some lessons i just bought a KB 3 Ken Brock old school , anyone wanna talk ?

THE best , RIP Gary

Gary died in a helicopter test flight .Burned to death , I think in 2019.

RIP Gary you were the BEST !
