The above was sent to us by an Australian customer, who kindly allowed its use.
Pete (Jungleman), your real-world experience posted here is very interesting, and we deeply appreciate your forum enthusiasm for your Sport Copter Vortex M912. You are really showcasing its mission: daily, routine back-country use! There are many "street-bike" gyros out there, but we offer a real "enduro" gyro with mast/rotorhead "In-Air Suspension" and actual shock absorbers. It pleases us to see such great photos and stories of your M912 adventures, enjoying your gyro as it was intended.
We're currently flying off the 40 hours of Phase I for our new M2, and adding its last refinements. It has the suspension and frame "heart" of the M912, but in an enclosed 2-place. Now, you can enjoy M912 fun and utility, yet bring along a friend in heated cabin comfort. (Or, fly it without the doors, which are removable in a minute.) We've so far easily seen 105 mph, and it still wanted more!
The M2's rotorhead is our best yet: simple, streamlined, yet strong enough for a much larger gyro. We've also achieved unheard-of prerotation RRPMs (way over 300!) with aft stick for a much shorter take-off roll. (This nearly immediately gets weight off the tires, an important factor in rough fields.) The M2 will be able to get in—and out of—challenging off-road areas with confidence.
From pasture to paddock—backyard to beach! With the Sport Copter M2, who needs runways?

Backcountry Video.Martin your welcome glad you enjoyed.
Loftus, probably no book but how about a few videos of future gyro activities.
Wolfy. Yeah thats an interesting take off. Makes you wonder if it was a one off or he goes out of there regularly.
As John said does not look like a lot of aft stick in until the top of the decline.certainly a laundry moment for him I am picking
Hi Pete,Backcountry Video.
Loftus.
Here is a backcountry video I said I would put together. Its about 40 mins, so pour yourself a long one & sit back.
If your not a Fleetwood Mac fan then down the volume and play your own, or silent.
Pete.
Wow Pete! Just spectacular! Unfortunately I'm at work so it will have to wait to play back later on the big screen with a long cold one. I agree with Burrengyro it's worthy of of a NZ Tourism board video. I'd love to share on some of the Facebook gyro groups if you have not already.Backcountry Video.

Not only is the scenery spectacular, but video quality is great. I'm guessing you used one of the newer GoPros, it's so smooth.
Eric & Dave.Waterfalls are cool. Makes me want to buy an M22 and put big tires on it. Thanks for posting! Eric’s gravel guard looks like a great idea!
You could also put some sort of fender over the rear tires to prevent rock and dirt from being kicked up into the prop. Not the wheel pants, but just wide fenders over the back and top of the tire.
I prefer a thin piece of aluminium, less chance of vibration cracking .... I think ?Pete,
Try a prop guard on the keel below your prop. My neighbor is building a Long EZ and made me a thin plate out of fiberglass to test - see pic. It weighs almost nothing.

I operate from a grass strip, but the base is granite gravel. This seems to help.

Wolfy,Amazing Pete, so many good reasons to visit NZ but naturally the scenery is a huge draw card so much of it packed into that tiny place down there.
