Extreme gyrocopter aerobatics

I've seen gyrocopters fly at Popham airfield, UK several times. Have always been fascinated by them...but this was first time I've seen an aerobatic display. Super impressive. He even flies hands off!

Essential R C? Wonder what that means.

RC as in Radio Controlled. My primary hobby but we do get asked to fly our larger aerobatic and jet models at full size events and I video both types of action for my YouTube channel.

Just reminded me of the video of the plane landing after the wing fell off. Not so extraordinary in an over powered radio model which was almost the same as the full sized one on the ground in the video.

Where do you get extreme aerobatics from that........an aggressive handling display maybe...

Saw a similar display at Natfly at Narromine, but it was twice as good, there were two in the orbit and they did about three orbits before they got dizzy and pulled out.

Agressive is probably still a bit strong.......
