Gyro copters are pretty cool I've know a few you have had them and lived but swore of them after incidents, one was a airline captain that was very lucky, he was out of service for almost a year, he shook hands with the reaper.

I've got kids to get through College + I'm involved in enough high risk behavior as it is.

I had an old neighbor who spend 3 years building one. It came back after a year in service very bent. It sat in the driveway for a summer. I would watch him limp/ shuffle out to the mail box afterwords. I like the concept but there too many moving parts and stuff that's flexing. One cracked bolt makes a smoking hole.

The Robinson 22's are about the minimum I would ride in. I've had 5 hours of duel instruction in them, I would trust them, Lots of bicycle chains on them

I would prefer a Bell 206 they feel good and secure. Cost is out of my current limits. I'll wave off until I can fly a real one.
