Birdy you mean a single seater home built with a 914 up it"s but.My gonads arn"t big enough for that even if I had hrs. I have some near misses in road bikes from doing dumb things and don"t want to go down a similar path as I have a young family to think about.Thanks Paul.A video I knocked up yesterday. No gyro flying as I couldn"t secure a camera well enough.Goes for 10min hope it doesen"t bore ya but I had a PHAT time.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lGqABAzM-s

We had an awesome flight in the MTO of about 250 nm from Cessnock in the Hunter Valley up to Palmers Island near Yamba. We had to wait for the fog to lift in the Gloucester VFR lane as there is no coast option due to Williamtown"s new control zone hrs.Flew west over the mountains west off Coffs Harbour to stay clear of airspace there also. After the fog, the weather was great. Nice to catch up with my old mate Revmax and hopefully he now has the gyro bug too!

The MTO doesnt bear any comparision to a lightweight single in the handling department and you can still have more fun [and adrenlin rush] and still fly safely.Gyro flying is a whole lot safer than a road bike !!
