Original Toronto Star caption: A Gyrocopter gets a tow. Cliff Lucky of Bronte flies 50 feet into the air in his home-made gyrocopter, pulled by a 165-horsepower boat. Next week he'll insall a Volkswagen motor and fly on his own. Lucky built the copter in his basement, despite his wife's objections, and estimates it cost hi $350. He expects to fly around within 100-mile radius.
