    Missed my fly tonight. The white one I was in did have a rotex motor @scream0 and had just departed for Wellington when I got there tonight.
    Most of the lads were going to town for a feed. And will be flying later.

    This one is flying to Tauraunga tomorrow. eta 2hrs better than a bus trip of 6 hrs.

    This single seater buzzed us before I got there.

    13 gyros turned up for the weekend.

    They all flew south this morning towards Woodville and will have another fly tommorow before departing.

    Life is full of risks!! Be boring if there was no risks

    Saw one flying home last night. I was up the Mohaka and it was headed Taupo way.

    They do scenic flights at Mandeville airfield (just out of Gore) in a Tiger Moth, quite a cool aircraft museum there to look around too.

    Those gyrocopters look quite fun, some of them are pretty minimal though aren't they... a seat strapped to the front of a 1984 Subaru motor with an old clothesline on top!

    Great pics thanks. Yep, they can land anywhere. Trouble is getting off again if the LZ is too small. I fly microlights and sometimes check out new hunting spots. Gyros would be heaps better for this..
