I was a little surprised when I was surfing Groen's site yesterday
and looked at the pricing info on the sparrowhawk kits.

35 thousand buckies seems kinda reasonable for a kit built gyro.

Have you ever considered a beast like that.

Seems like the main difference between that and a helicopter is you
can't take off vertical, and you can't hover.
