Default Sparrowhawk Youtube training video

My Youtube account is now letting me post full length videos! I also recently got a nflightcamera so I can record Gyro lessons. So I mounted Mike Burton's headset with the camera and he went on a gyro flight with bill (bought the pretty red sparrowhawk.) The video is half an hour long. Hope you enjoy. Make sure you subscribe to the youtube channel so that you can see when I post new ones.

Great video, thanks for posting it.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but I noticed almost no stick shake. Is this a Sparrowhawk thing, the type of blades, the setup of the blades or something else entirely?

I don't think I've ever seen a gyro stick that smooth.

Default Stick Shake

Thanks for the feedback. I will continue to post videos of lessons and gyro flights. As for the the stick shake, I am not sure. I don't think there is anything special about this Sparrowhawk. I will ask Mike Burton about it since he is the one that flies it quite often.
