Default Gyro Test Pilot

<span style="font-size: larger">I have been telling myself to post pictures of my Gyro for a long time, I ran out of excuses so here it is. First a little story about it. One day one of our club members asked if he built a gyro would /could I fly it? Since I fly helicopters I think that's why he asked and I said I will try. We had an understanding we both knew in the prototype stagewe were going to crash. He fixed I flew. He fixed I flew and so on. After several variations of a simple design it took off, and I was able to land. I knew one day he would come up with the right stuff but I was taken back when it broke ground the first time. I have come to love it. All together it took about two years of design changes and crash and rebuild time to get to this point. I have flown this one about two years. Ihope the pics. show up. PS... After all the bugs were worked out he gave it to me. He built a couple more designs and still does.</span>
