So glad you enjoyed flying the Gyroplane and in this video you've hopefully dispelled a few fears and myths that people have about them, I have absolutely loved flying mine.

If it was 50 % as much fun as it looked like it was, it was still awsome. I could imagine this is something that you would like to do as fun hobby the rest of your life. Although then you need such a beautifull landscape in your neighbourhood to triples the fun!

This is the BEST video I have ever seen on gyrocopters. I was amazed it could fly sideways. And you were a hoot with the appropriate squeals of delight...as a proxy for my experience :-) I have been around gyros, but have never gotten to fly in one. What beautiful area too.

Gyrocopters are so fascinating type of aircrafts, mainly beacuse that how it works. It's amazing that rotor still spins by air even at low airspeed. I think that the best gyros are the one which have open cabin like this one.
