Not My Point. How do you handle a gust or tilt. THINK about it. IF you didn't disengage the torque to the rotor you'd Be out of Control immediately You are using the grip on the ground and you HAVE to Bounce it into the Air and HOPE. I would NOT Be using that technique. It was just showing OFF and DANGEROUS. Nev

its all automatic. you push the stick and off you go. jumpstart gyros have been around for 60 years. not showing off or dangerous.

 

this mculloch had jump start in 1962. very successful machine and sought after even today.

and a gust of wind has almost no effect. gyros fly when fw are grounded.

AND, you can fly them in the nude, too! (especially if you're a girl).  😄

Did you say "Ok, then can I have a gyro?"

She was obviously greatly concerned that you'd only fly it in the nude, constantly looking for nude gyro girls.
