Ya, I've heard parts of America and Canada were behind the times. Other
parts of the world have been using them for decades. Although I hear
Florida has one or two also. I found this page that may interest you:

Well, I don't think that the gyro is that old. A year ago he was doing taxi
tests up and down the taxiway between hangar rows without rotor blades. I
want to say that he's about 55-60, but I could be wrong. As my dad said the
other day, that gyro of his is "like a mosquito... all it's good for is
making noise." And whenever he does fly it, it's only for a few circuits
around the pattern.

Must be a good design if he's an old guy. Do you know which
manufacterer / model it is?
