- I'm not a pilot but have been lucky enough to fly in Mi-24 Hind, Mi-2, Mi-17, Lynx HAS3, Gliders, GA
A recent published report relates to a runaway Brako gyro.
The owner wanted to start the engine to see how it ran - no intention of flight.
Upon starting the engine ( the pilot was outside the machine ) it went to full power.
It travelled approx 50m before hitting two parked cars and a hanger.
The owner received minor injuries as he tried to stop it.
The report says no chocks or any other restraining device was used.
