Exploring desert creeks after rain in the Gyro

[@Gusto0172]

Great vid. It reminded me of when I was working in Tenant Creek. I used to fly a powered hang glider & trike with a mate who had a gyro. Great fun & such pretty country from the air. I'm not flying at the moment, just get outback a few times each year on the the motorbikes. It's been unusually green south of the Kimberly to Alice. I rode the Simpson earlier this year, that was moist & green too. Great to get out there. Take care & happy flying.

@omeobandit9928 yeh, max. He moved to Vic for a while, last time I caught up with him he was living outback of Darwin

@@Gusto0172 He's still flying, lives up in wagait beach, NT. Check my other videos, I've got a few with him. He's a good mate :)

What beautiful flight and scenery. Stunning views. Good to see ya still uploading! In awe of the oldschool, madmaxy, minimalistic gyros. I wanted to grab a flight in a gyro this summer for my birthday, but all these "adventure flights" were closed cockpit ones only. Kinda beats the purpose for me, hah! Hopefully next year. Cheers lad, stay safe and have fun!

Pete, Beautiful video, poor resolution here, might be my data. Looks like you have a hell of a grip on the stick. You can see your control input to output delay, looks like the odd gust of wind gets you. Loved the other creek. Great looking clouds. The descent is awesome, as is the view you kept turning around. Very nice approach and landing. Great Barefoot flying

[@omeobandit9928]

Thanks ramjet, it actually wasn't gusty, it was a steady but strong wind. I like to toss it around a bit because it feels relaxing and keeps me entertained 😂👍

[@chimpychimp4921]

That's truly gorgeous terrain you get to fly through. It's trees everywhere I'm at. Makes for less low-level fun.

[@omeobandit9928]

@@chimpychimp4921 yes it's very safe flying country out here, many places to land if an engine fails 🤩🫡

[@chimpychimp4921]

@@omeobandit9928 Well, there's also the added bonus that you have room to take off if you have to land! My gyro can LAND in a little field or a generous clearing. But then I'm, y'know, stuck. Lol.

[@jimwolfe2862]

Nice mate, looks like plenty of those flats at the water hole were landable. where are those wind turbines?

[@gyronautjones]

Yes! New vid!

It’s a long walk home in bare feet if you have an issue and have to land

These aircraft are amazing, they look like they should not work. Looks like you have a hard grip on the stick though. Heavy wind?

@@scotttaxdal5297 the wind was strong but smooth and steady, I just enjoy tossing the machine around as it feels relaxing. I agree with you, they don't look like an flying machine at all 😂
