I have decided today that the greatest way to spend a lunch hour at work is to go into the loading bay, and fly my gyrocopter. I was down there with 3 other guys today, flying away. What a blast!! Now, my 'copter is not as powerful as theirs, but the fun factor was way up there. If you're not sure what my gyrocopter looks like, here's a pic:
It is not as big as it looks. But it is twice as much fun as it looks. I bought this one at the TV Showcase shop in Londonderry mall. The first few hours I flew it, I crashed and burned several times. It is very easy to hit the panic button when you lose control of the 'copter. But now, with a few more hours of flying under my belt, I am much better at NOT panicing, and I am more able to recover from a bad situation. Of course, some situations are just not recoverable from...and then the crash is ugly. So far, I haven't broken anything on the 'copter, or in the house...although my wife's ivy plant just about bit the dust. That, dear reader, did not go over well. I am hoping that within the next 5-7 days, my big 'copter will show up. The big 'copter is an ESky LLama V4. I bought mine out of Hong Kong, mostly because it is about a $100 cheaper than here....the only drawback is that I have to wait for 7-10 days for it to arrive. Patience is a virtue.
Dear reader, I really don't have anything more to muse about today. Just a little more than an hour to go before I can go home and fly my bird around the house. Tonight is a meeting at the church, so flight time will be somewhat restricted.
And now, my brain is done. Thus I bid you adieu.
