    I can't get enough of this video. This is the best display of steady and stable flying in a gyro that I've ever seen. It makes me drool over it. I must have one.

      Unfortunately it's not legal to commute with an unlicensed vehicle. You'll need an "experimental" registration for the aircraft - basically you have to build from kit, do test flights, and have yearly inspections. Commuting requires a private pilot license or better: medical exam, ground school, 45 hours logged. Figure about $10,000 of schooling.
      Fortunately this gives you the other private pilot privileges: flying at night or over congested areas, most small airports, talking to ATC. All airports if you have the necessary equipment and endorsement. Motorcycle is much cheaper.

    My first comment on RUclips....ever!...after watching thousands of videos over the years. I had a recurring dream as a child that I took off flying in a bicycle. Not like E.T. but more like this. It had rotor blades and I would maneuver it over fields. Felt like deja vu watching this video. MUST try this some day.

    great video. Only problem I see in the design is that the strut from the rear wheels points directly to the pilot. If it comes down too hard, the structure should be able to take the impact and not pierce the pilot. But it's hard to judge a design without seeing it close up.
