I did some digging around to find out why Loof Lipra decided to switch to gyros and I think Gabor Kovaks is involved.
Evidence is pretty skimpy but here is how I piece it together
1. Loof and his daughter both have red hair
2. Gabor painted his Behemoth Red
3. They both have videos on Youtube
4. They both like to be videoed in a sitting position
5. Miss Lipra mentions "Creamy Behemoth" at 0:900 in her video
6. Gabor also sits over a Behemoth
If Stan gets dragged into this thread we must remember:
1. He is not easily fooled
2. He can smell Kerosene from a mile away
3. He loves the smell of Kerosene
4. Turbine gyros burn Kerosene
5. He knows it is April the Tooth
6. And almost April the Turd
7. Which is far beyond April the Foist.
I saw a turbine powered gyro, lit off and run at Mentone in its' early years.
I was told, from a reliable source, that the <very experienced> pilot that was going to try to fly it. Had the crap spooked out of him. The constant speed prop was the problem; any pitch adjustment was too course.
