There are some neighbors that years ago all went in on buying an ultralight/powered glider. They cleared a forested area on one of their lands for a runway/landing strip.

First guy to go up flew straight into a tree on take-off. Repairs. Second guy to go up missed the trees, but immediately turned too sharp and stalled it. Repairs. Third guy did the exact same thing.

I learned the story when one of them hosted a Halloween party in their shop/barn (It was a very pristine barn btw) and I look up towards the ceiling and see the remains of the ultralight tucked into the rafters. "Is that an ultralight up there?" "Yeah, let me tell you the story!"

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Gyrocopters were a lot of fun but being able to simply fly away during a blood moon or any sort of event made it feel like you well and truly beat the game. Some servers would disable vehicles during blood moons, or worse, disable being able to put entire vehicles into your inventory.

I really like the open cockpit ones that are basically just a flying chair. In 1990 Ralph Taggart created the GyroBee and released the documentation so anyone could build one. There have been a bunch of revisions on that basic kit since then and different people you can order the components from. If you want to build a flying chair, it looks like the StarBee is probably the best place to start.

I got into a car accident while holding this very specific toy which left a tiny scar by my left eye from the propeller blade. Toy still rocks and I played with it for years afterwards
