Weirdly enough we had Gyros for dinner.

For those of us who are Costco members, our local one has a kit that is friggin awesome.

Yes, I’d love to take a cramped, slow, underpowered airplane and remove the things that keep it in the air and replace them with a homemade rotor setup held on with a Jesus nut from Ace Hardware.

I love it. Strap on a Subaru boxer up front with a prop and let ‘er rip! Home grown engineering at its finest, hold my beer and watch this!

If you were going to be a gyrocopter pilot would you rather have an uncertified steel cage protecting you or a known entity like a 150? I applaud whoever started building that oddity, probably a better option than a kit. I wouldn't buy or fly in it, but its nice to see that people still have enough interest in aviation to try to figure out some cheap manner of getting airborne.

A guy I know bought an RV7 that had a subie engine. He landed it in a strawberry field when the o2 sensor bung popped out of the exhaust and the engine shut down. Threw in an o320 after that

Do you guys pronounce it gyro, gyro or gyro?

Do you guys pronounce it gyro, gyro or gyro?

I pronounce it the first way, but I've heard others use the second way. The last one must be from somewhere else because I've never even heard that pronunciation!
