    Not really my day for autogyrating but the fun was top notch, both these models fly fantastically in the right hands ... just not my hands on the day!

    Quote of the day " I might be pushing my luck in this wind" . Lol. Right there with my favorite "Hey y'all, watch this!" Cliff...I've said and done both! Still fun!

      I probably said it Adam just to cover myself in case of a hard landing 😁👍

      Glad you enjoyed it Andrew, gyros have been on my to-do list for years it's only last year I decided to finally bite the bullet, and I'm glad I did it's been great fun 😁👍

      Hi Richard, I felt like we were becoming slowly familiar Richard but you're right I was pushing my luck, still they're all easily fixed and ready for the next outing 🙂👍

      I'll crack it eventually Mark, some autogyros do have a wing as well 🤔👍

    What happened to the 007 one? Looked like something happened to it mid flight with the rotor. It was cruising very nicely beforhand - indeed. Bad luck!

    • @CliffHarveyRCPlanes
      @CliffHarveyRCPlanes  Рік тому

      I think I should have used more throttle going downwind, I may have dived a little which has the effect of slowing the rotor, not the best plan 🤔

    A bit of a crash happy chappie to day Cliff. I dare say it won’t take you long to make repairs.

    Cliff wow James must have been texting while flying, glad the damage is minimal and the fun factor was high, Jeff in LA USA

    It really sounded and looked an iffy day to fly, with those strong gusts of wind. Still a cracking, good video, er, so to speak! You must be an old rocker Cliff? soundtrack is awesome.

    It must be tricky to get your orientation on those. Soon be back in the air though!!

    • @CliffHarveyRCPlanes
      @CliffHarveyRCPlanes  Рік тому +1

      Hi Alan, I flew in the wrong orientation, high wind and slow reactions... it was always going to end that way, I should have stopped after the first crash 🤔👍

    hmm - lost orientation twice? Just a thought Cliff, I was having orientation problems and it turns out I had macular degeneration in my left eye. It's treatable and I'm seeing the planes a lot better now. Maybe get your eyes tested?

    • @CliffHarveyRCPlanes
      @CliffHarveyRCPlanes  Рік тому +1

      Thanks Tim, we're all getting on a bit but my eyes were tested a couple of months ago so that's that excuse out the window 🤔 No, AG's are notorious in this respect, adding some brighter coloured strips to the rotors helps I believe 👍
