Can anyone tell me why this gyro has skids in addition to wheels?
I Think it is the Brako French gyro, but I don't get the skid thing. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. _________________ It's never too late to be a bad example. I spent all my money on Bikes, Broads, and Booze, the rest I wasted. |

Probably so they can pretend it is a helicopter? A lot of gyro pilots really wish they had a helicopter...
  Maybe so they can put floats on easily?  Because they can?   _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned! Ok, Ok.... some of them are planned.. If electricity comes from ELECTRONS, then surely morality comes from MORONS?? |

For the ice and snow season? Yeah I'm grasping.
And that overhead bar can't be much use. _________________ ===RayNAiken=== |

I know it is the same old euro tub frame, but I think it is good it doesn't have the usual bathtub mounted on it so it looks a bit different.
I also saw pics of another 'naked' eurotub which looked good too.... Probably costs the same tho  _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned! Ok, Ok.... some of them are planned.. If electricity comes from ELECTRONS, then surely morality comes from MORONS?? |

I would think that it is for engine out landings on fields that are to soft for wheels, years ago there was a man who put a ski in font of the nose wheel on a bensen for engine out landings in bean fields, I think his name was Bob Potts .
