Unfortunately,
there have been more than a few gyro-copter fatalities. Most were the result
of a hard push over, which unloads the rotor and causes a negative "coning
angle" that gets your rotor blades into the pusher prop or vertical stabilizer. 
Either way, it's not pretty. On the other hand, if you keep the Gs positive
and otherwise fly prudently, gyro-copters can be pretty benign.

Hey tom what do you think of a mini chopper (helicopter) they sell in kits
you put together yourself for right around 100k plus some thing you could
shine at the ground that would give a signal when you shine it on metal
, is there anything like that does any one know?
 Thanks John</blockquote>
