  • Say Birdy.. might be a good idea if you get them rotors in for an x ray.. lotsa stress there mate..

    This looks like a Benson with a stabiliser.. and Ali blades i assume.. cant imagine what sorta tricks you would get up to with some softer Carbon blades.. good on ya mate..

  • Is this what you call a Birdys Eye View... ?? heh heh...

  • what gyro is this ?????

    whos the manufacturer. how much do you weigh ??

    THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST GYRO VIDEO ON THE NET !!

    AND OTHERS YOU VE POSTED

  • @extere I'm not sure what the gyro started out as. It has been modified by the owner. A lot of it is custom built for his use.

  • Ha Ha. True Aussie. Wether mowing the yard, using an axe, walking in the scrub or flying a gyro the only suitable foot wear is a pair of black double plugger thongs. Good on ya mate.

  • of all of the videos on youtube with gyros this one and part one are probably the best two if a person has a mind to learn abit about flying this machine. The sounds of the gyro and movements of the pedal in concert can start a fan in the right direction.

    regards

  • Clip your toenails!

  • nice flying

    waht type of gyro is this?

  • Fun video to watch. That looks like fun and the surrounding area looks quite pretty.

    The pilot wore flip flops... that is rather funny.

  • had to be australian ,camera touting idiot..!!!!!

  • Thankyou for useing the sound of the machine. It helps the realism of the video, much better than the usual music[ or some such noise] on many video's,

  • MAD MAX!!!

  • Loved your video and your flying abilities Birdy!! I'm going to get better acquainted with my Sportcopter Lightning and hope to be as good as you someday! Keep the videos coming.

  • "Never seen a man beat a snake before.... Who are 'ya?...."

  • This guy obviously is experienced and knows his machine well. I almost got a seat'a'the'pants feeling that I was there. "Down under" looks quite a bit like Arizona.

  • Great vid---nice flying too!

    I'm gettin' a gyro!

  • i think feral is a name of gyrocopter.

  • That's the name Birdy has named it. Not sure what make it started out as. It's an Australian make.

  • That thing is maneuverable!

  • looks like from when i started to do the flight simulator and didnt know how to land properly :P

  • love the thongs

  • this is for the birds

  • funny...sounds and looks like an air moped...

    but im sure its to do that! g

  • Just for clarification, what do you mean when you say "feral", does the pilot have a liscence? (do you need one in Australia for a bird that small?)

    I know in the outback there are plenty of bush pilots who don't have liscences, is that the case here?

  • Birdy calls his gyro "Feral". I assume it's because it's wild and untamed.

  • There are now parachoutes on airplanes (small ones). There has to be a way to engineer a parachoute for gyrocopters. True they may not need them, but there's nothing wrong with being extra safe. Just figuring out where one could go is the issue. On the bottom or towards the back? But if you landed you'd land upside down or on the nose (of the shoot was on the back).

  • 'Reminds me of the "Road Warrior". Those flip-flops are hardcore. This is a perfect representation of when man and machine become one. Excellent flying! Amazing talent.

  • wearing thongs..are they double pluggers?

  • Real nice. if you fly like that in belgium,

    you are going to finish in jail very quickly ..

  • And that is why belgium is full of cunts! Like you!

  • And function it DOES!!!! Is this in west Texas?

  • No, in Texas the flip flops have heels on them to dig in the dirt and stop the gyro if the brakes fail on roll out. I think this is in Oz.

  • read the description.

  • Australian outback.

  • This is quite possibly the UGLIEST gyrocopter I have ever seen.

  • shut up almost every gyrocopter iv seed is ugly as shit they aren't made be pretty they are made to work.

  • Have you seen the enclosed 2 place machines? The new Sport Copter is pretty sweet lookng. also the Magni, ELA, and other european models are very nice looking with fairings.

  • He's got his own helicopter. Do you?

  • This gyro is a working gyro. Birdy herds cattle with it in the Australian outback. Looks aren't important.

  • You are my new hero. Well done.

  • Amazing, unbelivable how the pilot control this thing. I fly trikes and my brother gyrocopters, he is an instructor in Sao Paulo Brazil. Man, you are the best gyro pilot I ever seen. God bless you. You gonna go far.

  • Amazing !! I want it !

  • At 3:11 he gets pretty close to the spectators

  • hell yeah ! this guy is the last of a man`s man ! Australia gb and usa needs a dundee !

  • where is this? and how much did it cost/how much labor went into this?

  • Definitly more risky than a ppc. Good job... I really enjoyed that flight. As long as Respect and Fear maintain an equal balance, RISK is where the fun is found. Keep in touch and... Fly Smart...

  • This video is the most awesome display of gyro prowess I have ever seen.

  • I agree. The best I've ever seen. This guy knows what he's doing.

  • Im not sure who had bigger talons,you or that chickenhawk you were chasing!!!!

    P.S. i'm moving in.

  • I can't believe how SHORT the landing roll out is.. WOW

  • crashed 100's of times ingames you fly well in real life love those gyro's how much they cost?

  • And there was I thinking that microlights were the way to go! Sheesh! Unbelievable. Outstanding.

  • Haha - love the double pluggers!! Thats so Aussie and the toe tan!! Good stuff..

  • Looks like you have lost your fear of dieing with that thing. Looks like fun.

  • sandals? thats hardcore.

  • no joke! i think that proves how much (s)he rocks

  • Who owns Bartertown?

  • Gotta love his "aussie workboots".

  • Chasing birds...just great.

  • Cool, but don't your toes get cold?

  • looks HIGHLY dangerous
