I understand Gyros, that's WHY I fear them.....

What exactly do you fear about them?


Flying deathtraps.... If you get the true wind on the top of the blade,
you're done for, period. I know of no other aircraft where one mistake
WILL kill you....

I know one accident doesn't make a trend, but a guy in my EAA chapter
who was a HUGE Gyro proponent (he sold kits, quite succesfully) took a
nose dive on final and now has his own set of wings... I'll fly in
anything else, Gyros just scare the sh^t out of me....
