Didn't know thats an EJ22, bet she climbs like a rocket. Who built your gyro?
a bloke named Kerry Frame was the original builder mate , she's a well built machine although a little heavy compared to some, weighing in at about 350kgs . fuel injected ej22 which so far has been very good to me with the only issue being a plug lead . its just clocked over 400hrs
@ghecko-pz8rj well done. Another success story about the reliability of the Subarus. One of my singles has an EJ18. Apparently the same engine, just 1.8L, 100-110hp version. I could swap it for an ej22 but Peter green (the builder) reckons it will handle better with the lighter engine. Neil Heintz from Auto flight makes rebuilt kits for the SOH ea81 engines and claims 130hp, and at least 1000hrs of reliable hours. Power to weight that would be the best engine. But you can't beat the EJ22. As solid and common as a Honda XR thumper 😁👍
@@omeobandit9928 suppose it all depends on the type of flying you want to do as well mate , Im more into touring as far as my range will let me rather than zipping around the sky as for the XR hondas yep have 2x 600s 2x 400s and a 250 which Im trying to get back together
@@ghecko-pz8rj well there ya go! A perfect collection. They've got me wondering why psychologists don't prescribe gyros and XRs to the depressed. I suppose they wouldn't want to lose their return customer base 😂👌
U lucky enough to have a transponder or ctaf before tower opens ?
in and out before the tower opened mate , worth getting out of bed early
Do you see any crocodiles from up there ?
only ever seen a couple of small ones mainly near the river mouths , 2 larger ones were spotted up near Blue lagoon on the Burdekin river on a flight a couple of weeks
Lovely footage mate! Couldn't be me tho. Id need a new pair of underwear! I cant stand heights!!!
its a strange thing mate with flying you dont really get the fear of heights experience
@@ghecko-pz8rj True, maybe you feel somewhat safe as your sitting and comfortable.
Dope
Nice vid! What gyro are you flying?
homebuilt single seater , subaru ej22 powered
@@ghecko-pz8rj love it! Great vids!
Not a lot of places to a landing even in a Gyro , forced landing that is
not wrong mate ,pretty high pucker factor from there on to the dam and back
can we see the gyro?
theres a walkaround on earlier videos mate
here is the link for the walk around mate ,ruclips.net/video/EcrsEbLTK_E/видео.html
Looks like fun. Where's Townsville?
nth Queensland Australia matse
Nice 👍
How far out of Townsville please ?
40 Ks south of Townsville mate
Nice!
Looking pretty dry up there Rob Might be greener when I fly the Jabiru up in about 3-4 weeks time
some parts around Townsville had around 100mm in the last week so should start to green up soon mate
How much would it be to have the fuel truck brought out?
Wow its look and sound so real /nitro engine ?😂😂😂😂
Not a gyrocopter!
WTF, someone's smoking wacky tabacky.
All that green, wow.
Like worked.
Bet that's fun.
Living the dream. I see where you are now that I read it below.
Dragstrip, looks really long. I thought it was an airport being built ha-ha.
Second of three videos you put out, do you fly the Gyro very far or more used for fun?
purely for fun mate
Clicked the "Like" but it stayed at "0".
Nice, where are you located again, maybe I just forgot. Thanks for the sharing.
Townsville Queensland mate , fly out of Donnington Airpark ,Woodstock
Russian YAK

Looks like a plane to me
This is clearly a robotic pterodactyl, not a gyrocopter
There's a gyrocopter in Townsville ... but this isn't Townsville, so enjoy the view of this YAK 18A.
closest city to this airfield mate , plenty of gyro stuff on this channel
Not a gyrocopter
Funniest looking gyro I've ever seen.

Do a barrel roll!

Nice day for a ride. Always my pleasure. Thanks, and be safe.
Donnington looking good and green. What sort of endurance do you plan with the new aux tank fitted?
at the moment with the new aux tank I will have 4hrs , have a second aux tank nearly finished as well so should have a bit over 4 1/2 hrs total on top of the required 30 min reserve
@@ghecko-pz8rj Many thanks for the reply. That's great endurance.
Cant let you have all the fun R so Ive decided to get mine flying and bring it up there and you can show me around , i did enjoy our chat cheers
thanks for stopping in mate , keep us updated on your progress , if there is anything I can help you out with let us know
