Meant to say:
The direct control single rotor job is amazingly manoeuvrable. You can turn 180 degrees from high speed on the spot. No fun fly or heli' could possibly stay with it, and the speed range could only be matched by a Harrier! When you do those 180's, boy, you wanna hear those rotors! Wow!
Yep, it'd be great to have a gyro meet in the UK, but it'll take a lot of talking by people who love gyro's on boards like this to get it popular enough to warrant a meet. I just dabble, every few years the bug bites and I build something. If you're at all interested get onto
www.autogyro.com like Duncan says. It's the oracle of autogyro knowledge.
