• Due to the isol<strong>at</strong>ed area of the mine, it<br />
was decided dto use our GAK1 gyro<br />

one of our Gyrom<strong>at</strong>s unaccompanied to<br />
Mongolia and back.<br />

the way to protect it. It did cre<strong>at</strong>e a lot<br />
of interest <strong>at</strong> customs X‐ray check points<br />
