When I watch these sort of videos from the USA I always think I should have moved to the place, you can't blow your nose in the UK without getting some jobsworths permission..When the Soviet Union fell apart they shipped the remains to the UK and rebuilt it..
Don't be too hard on yourself. There's a large gyro community in the UK. And training is required. And in fact it was research done some 20 years ago in the UK that revealed why Bensen type gyros like this one were crashing and killing their pilots so often. The answer was non alignment of centers of gravity and thrust, leading to powered push over. After that, pusher gyros began to be constructed quite differently. This is not a safe design, due to where the engine and thrust line is located, as compared to where the overall CG is. The horizontal tailplane is also not large.
My love for gyros dates back to the Igor Bensen days in the sixties. Though I learnt to fly microlights at 50 , I never had the opportunity to fly a gyro. That's the dream of flight I never achieved.
As a kid growing up in North Carolina, I often saw Igor Benson test flying his gyro's. It was fascinating to see more man than machine flying by. We used to yell, "It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's Igor!"
A pilot that was flying a small Cessna tells the story of how he came up on one of the early Benson gyro's, As he flew along side of it he says he cudnt see the rotors spinning cuz they wer spinning so fast and he says it looked like some guy sitting in a chair waving at him at 2,000 ft
I used to love the gyrocopter’s but was watching a documentary where some folks were exploring way up in Alaska or the Arctic and was using gyrocopters to find the best route through the snow and terrain for the ground crew when about 1500 ft one of the gyros turned upside down and fell out of the sky like a rock yep a sad day.
The music in the start of the video reminds me of what got me hooked to gyrocopters, PilotWings 64... Sadly, atleast for me, I'm not in the financial position to own one myself. Nor does my country allow kit built gyrocopters/ gyroplanes, at this moment atleast. I'd sell 1 kidney and my manhood to fly one..

No, actually it is not a fear of heights. You have a fear of falling. You will feel safer strapped to an airplane than when you are standing on top of a building.
Honey be about $3/bottle. In reality, most gyros have two relatively big ticket costs: the engine and the rotor - each potentially in the thousands of dollars.
I agree. It sure looks like eating out is The Beevs' responsibility . The worse thing u shld b worried about are the Cherokee and if the customers are seriously upset. Need to keep their voices down till things get nice and quiet again . Tnx...hope to talk soon. God bless and keep ur healing up number 1 importance.
@@bernardhibbard4075 I used to fly a Bensen years ago. Looks almost like this one. It can land and stop on a dime. Take off very short too. The video is just fine though. I felt that the take-off from a stop and landing to a stop a would be interesting as well.
I love this style of gyrocopter, I just love the open view, the ultralight look and weight to it. The simple layout of the craftt

Most of all I love the 1990's action music in the flight sequences.
Very Good! Tive a oportunidade de conhecer um Gyro há mais de 50 anos atrás! Alguns voavam enganchados! Congratulheichons!
Very interesting innovative and excellent piece of engineering ie., referring to the landing gear springing.
Truly amazing
Thanks! I was not aware of this video!
when i was a kid i seen a gyro and was like "hey man that´s cool"
Some very nice flight film 👍

Wow !!!...What a cool l'il bird !!!!!
Mad Max! ;)
I liked this gyrocopiter, very simple should be cheaper right ...
Show de girocóptero.
Very cool👏👏👏👏👍
Coba anak2 yg kereaktif tiru cara pembuatan heli ini, sy sarankan anak2 muda.

Good job😀👍🙏👏❤️🇹🇷

Nice😀👍
Awesome
Very nice
With that intro music, the title should be: Mutual of Omahas, wild world of Gyros.
Love it! ! I want one! How much?
Love to fly one of these
Did you build this, do you have any references you can point me to since I want to build one? How did you learn to fly it?
very nice
MUITO BOM .
Quá đỉnh !👍👍👍

What are you saying?
Awesome!
Let's build one, covid restrictions on the ground, just fly over them.
I’ve got plans on the honeybee and the gyro bee on a cd somewhere
So how can i find info to build one , or any one can help me. Thanks
How much does it cost and how is it made?
So why don't we see these things flying around? FAA restrictions?
Looks reasonable to me.
Good.... Good
Smooth controller.
A well-balanced rotorblade.
and now its not available ???????
Why is the engine so high ? Wallis autogyros had low down engines.
Poor Iran has thousands of these equipped for home defense. Easy to fly, inexpensive to maintain and always ready to fly.
How much are the gyrocopters
how much is a toy from this ?
génial autogyre .
I'm scared of heights, would that be a problem?
Nope. Just keep your eyes closed. And stick to loats.
No, actually it is not a fear of heights. You have a fear of falling. You will feel safer strapped to an airplane than when you are standing on top of a building.
Only when you look down.
Boa noite ,queria comprar um tem como financiamento obrigado e juntos o cursos
Hello everybody...the honeybee gyro is a hand made gyro ? Who can tell me...and how much...much much....
Star Bee makes kit similar to this. I don't know anything about it, just know it exists.
Not anymore....
This is an old video. Seems like the project has been discontinued long time ago...
Plenty of modern autogyros projects... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trendak_Tercel
Could probably build one for 2k
I have the plans for that, if you want them.
Seriously?
I want meke a gyro plz help me
What is the first step.
Measurement ????
The rotor head and the blades are like seperate projects less you build a prop too. The rest is easy
Max pilot weight?
Exactly what I want to know
And climb rate, engine HP, range, ...
What is the cost of the honey bee please?
Honey be about $3/bottle. In reality, most gyros have two relatively big ticket costs: the engine and the rotor - each potentially in the thousands of dollars.
bangladesh need this technology
Holland too bro! :))
what is the cylinder volume of the motor? and the gear box what ratio?
Can I get one with an eject seat?
Don't lose your head. It's just a gyrocopter.
@@BadBobV65 haha!
Yea, it comes with a gyro umbrella
Offcourse! whatever you want. :))
Ok so how do i get one ?
Regrettably, the company is no longer in business.
I I got a couple of these, Lots of fun
You need to show the landing .. Also the takeoff. Just flying around does not do just to the aircraft.

Sou Renato Brasileiro quero comprar um Girocoptero como eu adiquiro por. Favor me ajude ,,. Meu sonho
whats priece in this halicopter plz (i am pakistani)
Gyrotech was sold around 15 years ago and is no longer available. When it was available the price was under $9,00 USD.
@@videobob47 is it 900 dollars ? .thanks
I need one

Have you tried the gyrobee using an electric motor?
There are some out there...
DO YOU KNOW WHERE CN I BUY THE ROTOR SISTEM??
Where can I buy one of these??? Does anyone know? It can’t be that expensive
Sorry, Gyrotech is no longer in business.
