Rotorcraft Cross-Over Topic Poll - Please Contribute With Your Vote Now!!

In gorilla marketing it is critical to know what cross-over markets exist for your product.

Please post what hobbies you have outside of homebuilt rotorcraft.

This will help us to determine how we can most effectively advertise our sport outside of the 'true bloods'.

If an option you think would be viable is NOT listed please post the additional options you think should be considered.

Thanks!

I think sports cars should be in there.

I knew they were lying to me How about composing or just simply playing any instrument, singing, rollerskating, bicycle racing, shooting, paintball, Jetskiing, skiing, painting, sculpturing, cooking, baking, knitting LOL....

I left out other aircraft types because I think we already know they are low hanging fruit if they fly LSAs and Ultralights and nearly worthless to market to if they fly heavy GA.

Jetsking would be powered watersports I think.

Not sure how well marketing homebuilt rotorcraft to painters would go. Might increase our exposure in art galleries...

Rollerskating might be too broad for vertical marketing, but Paintball, shooters and outdoor intrestests are indeed worthy for consideration.

Air Cav - Horse packing must have some commonality! Ok, what is lambing?

My favorite. A cold drink and my TV remote. eace:

Well I consider it a hobby.

Alas, I don't fit in the survey. These are my non-experimental homebuilt hobbies:

Music Performance and Recording, General FW Aviation, Fishing, Diving, Sailing, Hiking, Camping and Photography.

Oh well :noidea:

SCUBA, Camping, Ultralights.

Biking....pedal pusher.....recumbent only...prefer trikes or 3 wheel recumbents.

I like building electric vehicles (built a bike want a car)

Come on John,

Lambing isn't a hobby. Even if it does consume a major block of your time.

I know the off road racing crowd loves watching me fly.

Tim here is Lambing at its best

I think that the categories of this poll are representative of what kind of people we BELIEVE might like gyro flying. How are we ever going to find people who practice alternative medicine, play saxophone and engage in botany? (Like myself, for example.)

Like most times, the survey reflects at least as much on the one asking the questions than it does on the sample answering them.

A friend of my wife once asked me for advice on how to buy a present for a man, I thought about it and replied it has to have three features...small metal and intricate and men will be fascinated!
Guns,Knives fancy watches, motors, engines motorcycles, gyroplanes all go hand in hand.
As for my hobbies
Guns,knives motorcycles,scuba,rappelling,metal detecting, explosives and all things aviation.(except ballooning, never got the attraction to that)

Shooting virtual opponents keeps me together at work. I will neither confirm nor deny having 3d models that resemble the people I work with to shoot at.
