battery was down to 4 Volts during the second spin up.

I gather the engine on the gyro has no generator? I don't know squate about
gyros, so I don't know what the hell's a "Snobird." I tried to hover an R22.
Once. The entire goddamn flight school was in tears. I want to try it again
but I gotta find some other place to do it.

Nah, it has a lighing coil with a diode on it so you can actually tap
off it and charge the battery back up. It works okay.


All I need is a bigger and heavier battery, but that means I have to
lose about another 10 pounds off my big fat gut to compensate for it.

What battery do you have in there now?

A little motorcycle battery from Walmart. Real airworthy eh? Ha Ha

Just have to bite the big one and stop eating pizza and drinking
Newcastle beer.

I stopped eating crap after spending three weeks in the hospital with my
side cut open so the docs could shuttle me back and forth to the OR to stuff
me full of gauze after my pancreas went south. Learned my lesson real quick.

Jesus Christ, are you okay? Damn, I hope that never happens again.

Happy Skies.
