Super cool. I wonder if it has the capability to auto rotate to safety if the gas runs out or something. |

Looks pretty cool, actually. I think I'd be kind of nervous about high power lines, though. |

If you check out AceCraft's Website, you will see that it uses 4, 10hp engines. But then scroll down to "Possible Future Developments" and it says "15 Horsepower Engines (for American market)"
HAhahaha
I'm just glad we aren't being left out. |

@Thelonius: "How does that thing stabilize from rotational momentum?"
It has counter-rotating blades. |

hey it's a good idea, why invent something new when you can reinvent something else that already works? |

How does that thing stabilize from rotational momentum? Also, that's a nice decapitation machine for student drivers. |

Until you hit a wind current and end up in the power lines. Then you're fried. |

@dm2754 and @briandarf
This doesn't look like a gyrocopter to me... A gyrocopter needs a powered propeller for forward thrust, while the unpowered rotor that makes it look like a helicopter provides the lift. This is definitely a personal helicopter, and a pretty damn cool one at that. |
