Hey I'm new to gyros, and im wondering...

[asra]

Hey im rosco from WA,I just wanted to know how the bloody hell these things can fly and well, how they do it?i mean can they pull of the same manouvers as a huey slick or a tiger, or an apache?and if its got no turboshaft how the hell does it get off the ground and can it hover? arghhhhh this stuff fries my brain!!I had a handle on life but it broke off...

Your Profile says your a student Ross................... read n learn.You'll discover its all magic ,and yes,they can fly the rotors off a Huey,stripes off a Tiger,and the war paint off an Apache.Ignorance is bliss............but only till you realise you were.

Ross,Go find a club, find an instructor and learn, all links are on the home page.Cheers,Nick.

If that were true, half of us should be able to fly without any form of mechanical assistance..........

Hey Rosco,If your question is serious, there is a section in the following on Gyros that should provide lots of answers. http://av-info.faa.gov/data/training...-h-8083-21.pdfDave
