A Thermos of Manhattans Helps

How to fly your autogyro, here: http://www.mygyroplane.com/aboutgyros.html

"Others may say it is difficult to fly. Some might even call it dangerous. These comments may come from pilots of traditional fixed-wind aircraft who think that flying anything should be like an airplane. Others who may use the term "dangerous" could be those so-called "experts" who are afraid to find out for themselves what may be "easy" for many of the rest of us.

"The best frame of mind to have when you begin the learning process is to assume that Gyros are NOT easy to fly. But then compare it to some of the learning experiences you had when you were growing up. You learned to walk from patient parents. Your first attempts at riding a bicycle were on flat ground at very slow speeds. The same principles apply here. Take it one step at a time. You're going to learn a little more every day about Gyros.

About a year and a half ago I went to a garage sale in Renton, only to find a yard absolutely stuffed full of gyrocopters. Gyrocopters here, there, parts, bags of gyrocopters, gyrocopters in the closet. This was somewhat surprising.

Turned out the garolous old fellow's son had his own gyrocopter company in Spokane or somewhere, (I mean who doesn't?) and was storing the extras in Dad's yard. I learned a lot about gyrocopters, rather more than I intended.

Those gyrocopters are really small. They are cheap, and very cool in a deco-way. But I ain't getting in.

It was however, the most interesting garage sale I've seen in a while.
