<VV> gyro effect (humor)

[Ramon Rodriguez III]

Man doc, I used to think that the little Corvair helicopter someone brought
to the CORSA convention years ago was insanity... now that you've explained
all this it seems the obvious way to go.  I'll have to start looking for a
rotor assembly to mount atop my Corsa.  =P

Don't any smart$%#%% go sending offers to sell me disc brakes either!  Not
that kind of rotor!
