The real caption on this news photo tells us this gizmo is “less expensive than a conventional helicopter,” and by conventional helicopter I believe they mean real helicopter.
Look, if I’m going to be riding in something thousands of feet up, the last thing I’m interested in hearing is that it was a bargain. Excuse me, I believe I’ll just go ahead and take the expensive kind, please. While we’re at it, don’t be asking me to get in something called a gyrocopter, which sounds like it came out of Inspector Gadget’s workshop.
I went to the company’s Web site, and they’re selling rides on this thing, and one of the options is Rundfluege, or round-trip. I don’t even want to know what the alternative to that is.

- Posted by USA.cØm.biz | This is the stuff your dreams are made of?To the people who are so quick to jump down the original poster’s throat:
You are idiots. Reading through it once, I was able to tell Robert (Bob?) was just trying to make a few people laugh while highlighting something new(ish) and unusual. He also was just trying to voice his own apprehension about riding in one in a humorous manner. I’m not sure where you gather that he has a lack of knowledge regarding the “gyrocopter,” but I doubt anyone interested in it is going to come to this post and say “oh my…he’s right! This contraption is insane! We need to shut this operation down right now!!!” It’s a *BLOG*. Introduce yourself to the forum of unbridled opinion and stop taking everything you read so seriously.
Summary: take a chill pill, dorks.
