Flying Machine Control summons a gyrocopter-like flying machine. It seems to resemble the gnomish flying machines from Warcraft II. It is a rare-quality flying mount available only to engineers and features two distinct modes: a hovering terrestrial version where the engines are stationed vertically, and an aerial mode where a horizontal propeller is deployed from the machine's chassis. If not moving and standing on ground, the gyrocptor may randomly stop working and just smash to the ground. This will not cause any damage to you, and will start working as soon as you move. The epic version of this mount is summoned by the [Turbo-Charged Flying Machine Control].

The schematic for this device can be learned in Shadowmoon Valley, either from Jonathan Garrett in Shadowmoon Village or Niobe Whizzlespark in Wildhammer Stronghold.

Whether this is advisable is left to the discretion of those tenacious enough to be making the decision.
