Bugger... poor little gyrocopter.

Nice to see only minor injuries.

"Freaky" how there's 50 metres of tyre tracks behind the machine.

From the aerial photos it looks more like a 50 - 60 metre skid mark with a rightangle mark at the end from the rotor.

Was speaking to a member who got the helicopter shot on video and the playback is even more interesting apparently when you take a closer look.;)
