Gyrocopters

[Bill1275w]

Reminds me of my favorite guy on Road Warrior!

[Eaglemerica]

HEEAHAA fuck both the USSR and the Birtish ok thanks.

[TK42138]

Got to get me one of these. No more waiting in traffic on the A14.

[jkcarroll]

@Flarehappy09, mounting the weapons is easy. Just strap a 10-year-old to the underside of your machine, hand him the weapon, and let him know that if he drops it you're going to take it out of his allowance.

[crossbowman100]

I like the beatles.

[aerogent87]

last time I was on a helicopter it was almost as small as that and I basically passed out I was so nervous

[aerogent87]

I'd fuck that shit up lol

[scott1506]

@Flarehappy09 take it to vietnam

[JackDevvo]

Moby :)

[DavidSebua]

@Flarehappy09 jesus christ, wtf is up with all these cod fanboys?!

[chispygato]

Ok, if the motor of a girocopter suddently stops... you just die?? Is there a parachute??

[Hectordsm3]

@chispygato Not really i flew these with my dad and some friends and depending on the altitude u have some time to react. The good thing about these that make them so safe is that the motor is not spinning the rotor blades just controls the air speed so when u have enough altitude u could glide down and gain air speed and land in a very small area. If ur not too high just drop the nose dive in and land right away. These are really fun by the way very addicting

[zombie19844891]

looks so awesome, i want to try that;)

[Dorisequador]

Coolest things to own.

[jamjr1972]

i bet that other guy was getting wet! those Gyrocopters are nice! why y'all making that guy jealous? i like the two seater better!

[TwinightTim150]

i am assuming you live in the uk?

[mitchbarker]

@TwinightTim150 australia

[obliviousfafnir01]

@mitchbarker What are the regs on flying light sport aircraft in Australia? Just curious. In the US you have to have to be certified.

[TwinightTim150]

@TwinightTim150 ahh sry i saw the RAF on the (sry have no clue what its called) dashboard thingy so i assumed Britain

[mitchbarker]

its the type of gyro it is :)

[zbehlik5]

thank you for the response, would you mind telling me what size engine you have fitted to your gyrocopter? by the video you took, it looks like you have a nice set of aircraft. simply fascinating.

[salamalycoom]

What a fantastic looking sport and I imagine the flying deck chair would be the most fun. Cool vid thanks.

[mitchbarker]

@salamalycoom thanks check out my new videos :)

[eujeeves]

How far do they fly on a full tank?

[bebe6478]

And the speed and range?

[bebe6478]

Wow, what a espectacular moment!!!!!! So cool!

[mitchbarker]

@bebe6478 cheers :)

[brunzmeflugen]

@Flarehappy09 forget that......30mm Avenger Gatling Cannon!

[zbehlik5]

@mitchbarker do you know the max speed on your aircraft? those look like a nice few gyrocopters you got there. have some fun!

[mitchbarker]

@zbehlik5 cruise around 75knt VNE its like 95-100

[legomoviem4ker]

i want one.

[mitchbarker]

@legomoviem4ker get one :)

[nagrain]

looks like a flying chair to me. pretty cool but doesn't look so safe.

[mitchbarker]

@nagrain they are the safest aircraft :)

[0MatthewThibodeaux]

[UrBaNScopeZz1]

[089674532]

Thank you for this video, Ive enjoyed it!!! Glad these guys can experience such freedom. My wish is that everyone will or could. Im 55 years old and this was my dream from since I was a kid. I will built one or buy one and fly it soon. I love people who are achievers, and these are achievers, because.. .to fly; you have to be one! (Definition of Hero = Achiever). Fly Safe! ;)

[mitchbarker]

@089674532 follow your dreams buddy and thanks mate :)

[billman2112]

Hit a bird and you're dead.

[jerky88888]

What kind of certificates do you need to fly one of these? I have a fixed wing privat pilot license and this looks like a fun hobby

[mitchbarker]

@jerky88888 need to get with an instructor and go from there :)

[FruityLoopsas]

Helicopter was invented many years ago..... so whats so special about small hellicopter????

[mitchbarker]

@FruityLoopsas there more fun haha

[vexviper]

The guy with the open canopy must be feelng the cold rain up those shorts lol. brrr!

[mitchbarker]

@vexviper haha thats my dad wasn't to bad up there..

[yopladas]

nice music. nice gyros as well.. :P

i wanna see a 2 seater so one person could shoot model rockets

that would be the shit. 2 armies of gyrocopters shooting rockets at each other.

[vicelordvl]

omfg how old do u have to be and i would love to work with somthing like this as a career as i love aviation

[mitchbarker]

@vicelordvl not to sure mate would have to look into it :P

[Heston83]

Ok, cool, now i wanna see you do an ILS approach....

Haha! jk

[mitchbarker]

@Heston83 haha

[dranoel1963]

lots of hellies :)

[FlyHighRC386]

how much for one of those, and whats the max winf they can fly in on an average GC.

[dranoel1963]

about 20,000$? :)

[TikiShootah]

Hold on to that gyro..in a post apocolyptic time oyu owuld be kings :P

[mitchbarker]

hahaha

[dranoel1963]

it looks kinda easy to drive this :)

i bet its a bit more harder than a car

[mitchbarker]

@dranoel1963 there not to hard :P

[ogskeetdizzle]

being able to use a flying suit would be nust too, check out the flying suit made by base jumpers, insane.

[peepingjesus]

@TikiShootah haha awesome reference to Mad max, so true too

[Taud]

@TikiShootah Thats exactly why i effing need one now!!!! i cant live without one!!!!!!!!

[SinnimLeben]

@TikiShootah they won´t without fuel :D

[corfexx]

@TikiShootah in that scenario i would kill him for it.....

[RocKiteman]

It looks like the rudder is just supported by the one 'boom' coming from below the rotor head?

[helobelow]

Looks like lots of fun mates!

[mitchbarker]

it is very fun mate :)

[mitchbarker]

maybe lol :P

[mitchbarker]

no mate my dad made that himself

[stevenpam]

Is that a yaw string on the windscreen?

[mitchbarker]

@stevenpam sure is..

[JonnyTommyGuns]

are you allowed to fly over residential areas like you could in a helicopter? would i be able to use it as a mode of transportation like long distance.

[alex2mitch]

These wouldnt get you very far a long distance travel.....

[mitchbarker]

you would be supprised

[TheKnightsShield]

I wonder, with these gyroplanes/copters, how close to hovering can they get? The rotor on top provides enough lift to slow the decent when you go to land, but could you slow down enough in mid air to more or less hover?

It all looks like great fun, being in the air seeing everything below so small. You guys fly careful and have some more great fun.

Chris

[helobelow]

It would be my guess it depends on the amount of S.H.P. the engine produces and how much head wind they have....the greater the headwind the less your ground speed becomes.

[mitchbarker]

@TheKnightsShield can hover a lil bit, not as good as a helicopter...

it is great fun...cheers mate
