  • what are the controls man, thats some sick flying does the top prop swivel by control and are there flaps?

  • @SujoD The rotorhead pivots side to side and for and aft. The rudder is also a control surface and helps him do the tight turns.

  • I'm guessing it's a Brock KB-2.

  • It's a modified Bensen.

  • Very nice demo with a very simple machine. I like this. Is the gyro the Bensen B8-M ?

  • Yes. It's been modified but it started out as a B8-M.

  • I remember this thing from the old movie Martian Chronicles. I loved the way that thing was so easy to fly. I read a lot about it as a kid and wish they were more popular.

  • but if i wanted to climb out whilst driving, it would cut my head off :(

  • FANTASTIC DEMO!!

    Yes, I know cps LOCK is internet shouting.

  • hey how long will the gyro be up can it go long distance?
