I wonder if it is a derivative of the "Honey-Bee" family of Gyro's that were variants of the Bensen Gyro's. I see a Rotax 447 or 503 engine w/ a powder coated exhaust. I don't see an "N" number. It maybe overweight for an Ultralight Gyro aka greater than 254 lbs. He might get gigged on that as well, unless he has a throw out parachute to get some extra weight via the BRS exemption... ;-)...

Oh here it is, it also has an engine driven "pre-rotor" as well to spin the rotor up before takeoff...

I am wondering how well throwing a parachute through rotating blades will work... maybe he could volunteer to test that as well.
