It is one of my favorite maneuvers for sure!!

Gerda White Aweosme thanks so much for watching!!!

Gerda, we need to fly with a parachute. In a Gyroplane that is.

I had the same feeling. I would have been scared shitless at that altitude in that small of an aircraft.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks sir!

Glad you enjoyed it

That it

It's definitely different for sure! Hahaha Thanks for watching and we'll do it!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

it's definitely a lot of fun!!!

All American Aviation I’m gonna do my best to experience this. Thank you for the video

BillyN44 , Billy I’m with ya on that.

haahha ;yehp

LOL! Isn't it just awesome????

@@AllAmericanAviation OK try this one: you gain speed and then you pount the nose upwards and climb up. When you start to slow down you push the stick suddenly forward to go down. The zero gravity situation has spectacular results!😀

@@jeroenjansen2709 Yup... That is something gyro pilots are trained never to do, just as fixed wing pilots are trained that the throttle is for going up or down and the stick is for airspeed control.

It's not that bad actually. You get use to it. More atlitude is better!

All American Aviation , I will have to take your word for that. Just so much of your upper body sticking up above the sides of the cockpit would be unnerving for me. Then a F16 come whizzing by to close and I would have a heart attack. lol

it is indeed awesome. Thankyou for watching!

Or you could just take off the doors….

cool

I used a separate audio recorder that ran in-line to the headset!

@@AllAmericanAviation Makes sense, thanks for the video and the knowledge!

Exactly! Come on back and have a blast amigo!

LOL! Thanks for the kind comment!

I'm working on it. I'm a CFI Airplane and Helicopter but not Gyro yet! Thanks for watching!!!

Were are you located at

@@shawnwright5332 North West Arkansas. Bentonville area.

@@nolanmods7172 Ron's gyro. Ron Menzie is his name I believe he's in Arkansas

He's not actually. He flies airplane too but not war birds. Thanks for watching though!

Thanks for watching!

We're not IMC. We had visual reference to the ground and the horizon the entire time and maintained our minimum cloud distances with by a lot.

@@AllAmericanAviation I'm in the UK IMC rules differ from the USA. Thank you for the clarification. Stay safe Neil

Normal RRPM. It remains constant Autorotation speed.

He doesn't. Dayton just does the Gyroplane building around central Texas and is a dealer for Magni M16's.

Always enjoy autorotation. My instructor taught me to bring the air speed down to zero, rudder authority is near zero needing large pedal inputs to maintain direction adding slight side cyclic to effect a "side slip"

phil QUANTRILL - If you're flying a gyro, you're always in autorotation, with or without an engine. When you use side-slip, you're trading off forward airspeed for sideways airspeed - The difference being that the sideways component does not fully register on your airspeed indicator so it LOOKS like you are going a lot slower than you really are... and without forward airspeed (or at least propwash over the empennage), you will have far less rudder authority. Yes, you can get down to effectively zero airspeed, but the risk of losing control is increased and that is why good instructors generally advise against dropping below 20mph. It's easy enough to correct for the spin when it does set in, but it can also set in quite quickly and generate forces which require a fair degree of effort to overcome so hesitation in correcting the spin should be avoided, as should the spin itself... and the best way to avoid that is to never drop below that minimum airspeed.

I love her too❤.

@@RoadRunnerLaser When I refered to the autorotation I meant the virtual holding of geographic position. I agree that rudder authority is lost at less than 20mph and issues can arise very quickly, but, a good instructor will help you understand and master this under supervision and not as a surprise/shock when it does happen for the first time when one is solo. A good instructor will cover all eventualities it is safe to cover under instruction and strongly advise against those areas it is dangerous to enter into and why. Phil.

phil QUANTRILL - I figured, but that's not called "autorotation". Most people refer to it as a "vertical descent" (even though it's not quite vertical except when the wind matches the speed at which the descent is performed). Autorotation is the phenomenon of the blades turning due to airflow. It's how a gyro flies. I agree that a good instructor should demonstrate the danger areas and how to recover from them and they should also explain how to stay away from those danger areas in the first place. An ounce of prevention is usually better than a pound of cure.

LOL--what you got against BBQ???

@@AllAmericanAviation I was just about to go to bed when it was in your video and it made me hungry

I need to get on that! LOL--we're going to do it!

Neville Rodrigues hahahahaha

Do it!! :)

@@AllAmericanAviation I will

Oh I love anything that flies! Sounds like you do too!!! :-)

The Red Baron team was at the first airshow I ever went to. Tupelo, MS in 2003. I was 7 and I still remember it

Depends

Depends on if you want to get ahead.

I lost a good buddy in the Army to a power-line in a Kiowa Warrior in Tennessee. Can't get complacent for sure. But yet--I agree with you.

@@AllAmericanAviation I know guys who have flown through powerlines pretty much every season and didn't even damage their planes, and I knew a few guys that only did it once. Ag planes have some defense against it, but helis and gyros just have way too much to get tangled up and damaged. I wouldn't necessarily write off a road because of powerlines, especially if it's your best or only option. You seem like you're pretty adept at spotting them, here's a few tips that I learned from some old pilots...always look for the poles, not the wires. You can see poles a lot easier than wires. If it doesn't feel right get out. Sometimes your head is caught up in other things and you don't realize that you saw a pole out there, so if it doesn't feel right that's your subconscious possibly pointing out what you didn't immediately notice. It may also be telling you that those trees are suspiciously spaced close enough to hide poles. Oh, one that I made myself that you guys reminded me of...if you get caught in low visibility, towers don't grow on roads or rivers, and there's plenty of them out there just waiting to shake hands with you. Be safe out there man.

It's in autoration before it leaves the ground. It's always in autoration!

@@AllAmericanAviation I mean when the engine fails

Ivan Kondaurov MTO?

@@AllAmericanAviation yes sir, MTO SPORT

It's pretty awesome and such a great time!

Not sure of what your comment means but you definitely want to avoid negative g's and get into a condition known as "bunt over".

@@AllAmericanAviation PPO? I've seen videos of a Sportcopter and a Xenos doing aerobatics and pulling negative Gs.... crazy

Thanks for watching!

LOL! They are a lot of fun! Thanks so much for watching!

It's pretty awesome!

You bet--it's amazing.

That's awesome!

I'm not sure what your question is?

Blade aren't going to stop turning because you're in autorotation.

@@AllAmericanAviation ?...Gimme me something to google....lol

LOL
