The new gyro

[wolfy]

Very nice machine and flying wolfy, looks a lot of fun.

Thanks mate, but I wouldn't actually call it that nice a flying.
I used to fly them all day for a living, but then stopped flying gyros for 6 or 7 years and just started flying them again after building this machine.
To say I had lost the touch is an understatement in my eyes, when I was flying them constantly there was a level of confidence (not over confidence) that can only be had from living in the seat, that they were like an extension of the body.
While I can still throw them around, I don't do it much anymore but rather just poke about relaxing

Guessing you and Birdy used the gyro for the same reason? Herding Moos?

Yep

I can certainly relate to that Wolfy. Basics I retain, but it is like a lot of skills, degradable over time.
