Two of the Best !

[Brian]

A couple of photos of two of our best pilots, one on the ground discussing a flat tyre & the other of Jacko showing how to fly a Rosco built 503. Not a bad angle of bank there !

I don"t think he was allowed to print on a family forum.Graeme. ;D..Lameroo 08 or 07 and those in attendance got to see two very impressive demonstrations of gyro flying, two very difernt styles in two very difernt machines but both were built by our premier builder Rosco.When Jacko pulled up after his demo, his performance was that hot that he got a flat

Wot we shoulda dun is swaped rotors over, then youd see a real difference.

You bring up a very good point of gyros having too big a diameter blades, while they provide godd lift, you do loose that quickness.
