Yes.

MODERN gyrocopters are in my opinion safest LSA to fly in. They don’t stall and can withstand strong winds and thermals.

Yes, these ultralight aircrafts are amazing. But gyroplanes also don’t stall and can withstand strong winds and thermals. So I choose them.

No, the Calidus gyrocopter has a small electric pre-rotation motor similar to a starter motor.

😂Plán bol pristáť na letisku v Jakubovanoch, ale keď sme tam volali, tak nám tam zakázali pristáť. Tak sme potom pristáli na nejakej poľnej ceste za Liptovským Hrádkom, lebo nám už zasvietila rezerva.😅

@@flying_bros tak to je perfektné, myslel som, že sa dá pristávať len na oficiálnych plochách 😃

@@Jonit_svk No tak malo by sa pristávať iba na oficiálnych plochách alebo na plochách kde máš povolenie od majiteľa pozemku. Ale keď máš nejaký problém (prehriatie motora, nízka hladina paliva,...) tak je bezpečnejšie hneď pristáť na nejakej na to vhodnej ploche.

Hi, so gyroplanes are not that rare or costly, but gyroplanes with street legal upgrade are quite rare because street legal upgrade is not very cheap, it requires a lot of bureaucracy (in some countries it is not even possible) and additional vehicle insurance. So as you can imagine a lot of gyroplane pilots prefer to call a cab or take a foldable electric scooter with them when they are traveling somewhere then go with this extensive process.

Probably no. Gyroplane requires a lot of rudder input (controlling with feet). But it is possible for you to fly a paramotor trike or ultralight trike. Check out video on TH-cam: PARAPLEGIC PARAMOTOR PILOT. Also hit me up on Instagram (I noticed that you are from Puerto Rico and a lot of gyro pilots are coming there to fly on vacation, I want to go there too someday. Maybe we can chat about your options or at least give you a tour ride).

If you are referring to ultralight trikes then I agree that they are awesome too. Here in Czechia one guy is making really nice foldable trikes that are also electric!!! Subscribe if you want to see an interview with him.

@@flying_bros yes, a foldable ultralight gyro with some way of motorizing the front wheel. Maybe not like a car, but like a motorized bicycle. Trikes are great, but gyros are even cooler in many ways. Thanks for posting

@@donindri Oh yeah, now I see what you mean. That would be cool. And I agree, trikes are really great but gyros are even better. Thanks for watching and your comments.

100% agree

But what if to compare with paragliders?🧐

@@bigmephi Paragliding is more dangerous than general aviation. Check out this article about dangerous activities: chessintheair.com/the-risk-of-dying-doing-what-we-love/ Don’t get me wrong, I love paragliding and paramotoring, but I am fully aware that it can be dangerous and therefore trying to fly as safely as possible and mitigate possible risks (not flying in bad weather, always flying with a reserve,...). Are you a paraglider or paramotor pilot?

@@flying_bros Thanks for the article, but I didn't find any statistics on autogyros. I wanted to compare paragliders with them, and not with general aviation. Personally I don't fly anything yet, but I'm looking at paramotor.

@@bigmephi I have a beginner paragliding pilot license for 3 years now, this year I am working on a paramotor pilot license (in EU you have to have a license) and next year I want to get a gyrocopter pilot license (but I finished theory and got a radio communication license). So if you want to fly only occasionally and recreationally in the evenings and mornings when the weather is very nice and winds and thermals are calm, a paramotor is a good choice for you. You will be safe as long as you take paramotor training and fly with a wing for beginners. If you want to fly more and in more challenging weather (in the middle of the day, stronger winds,...), take somebody with you or take some flying trips, a gyrocopter is a better and safer option. For more information I suggest to speak with professionals in your area (because this is a complicated topic) or follow my channel (I will be posting videos about my progress even with paramorotors). Hope this helped.

@@flying_bros lol, yes, absolutely.

Check out my video: From Paramotors to Gyromotion. I interviewed in that video an inventor of Street Legal Gyrocopters.

Unfortunately yes, gyroplanes are known for the vibrations during flight. Some models are more vibrant, some less. But on the other hand they handle turbulent air and strong wind very well. Much better than fixed wing aircrafts.

Helicopters are cool and stuff. But buying and maintaining a helicopter is up to 10 times more expensive than airplanes or gyroplanes.

Exactly my worlds. Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos.

@@flying_bros yep already have. Cheers

These are regular wheels, but I saw on the internet that you can also buy bush wheels for a gyro.

Hi, you can see the transformation process in the video called: From Paramotors to GyroMotion on my YT channel and I will also include it in my future videos. I wanted to keep this video simple for entertainment purposes.

Nice :D Hope you’ll enjoy it.

@@flying_bros how long you been flying?

@@jamesbarratt593 I am only a student pilot and the pilot in this video is my friend who has been flying a gyroplane for 2-3 years, but has been flying an airplane for 10 years.

I think that they are designed to climb 12% gradient (max. street gradient in Europe) without any problem. Maybe if I will have time between my flight lessons we can do some tests and make a video about it. So don’t forget to subscribe.

Yes, older Calidus and Cavalon models can be upgraded too. You can visit gyromotion.eu for more information.

You can buy an add-on to your gyroplane/gyrocopter. It is called GyroMotion ( they basically add motors, battery, side mirrors,...). I interviewed the owner of this company, you can see the video on my channel.

Street legal upgrade was invented exactly for that.

Well done with your heliburger and chips 🍟

Yes, they 3D printed holders for them😂 Cheers from Slovakia and Czechia.

They handle the same, except it maintains a constant rpm when maneuvering.

That is true.

neither does a motorcicle and it does not fly!

Big Mac will kill you first not the gyro

Check out my video: From Paramotors to Gyromotion. I interviewed in that video an inventor of Street Legal Gyrocopters.

Hi, please contact them through email: info@gyromotion.eu so they can figure out a solution for you or you can visit their website: www.gyromotion.eu/home. Also please don’t forget to mention that you heard about them from this video. Thank you very much.

Do you offer gyro tours in Costa Rica?

@@hedn588 My flight instructor told me that they are making vacation trips to Costa Rica and they borrow there gyro and fly it there. So I think you can get a gyro tour in Costa Rica, maybe even flight training.

No if you slow down (gyrocopter doesn’t stall so you can fly really slow) and are really careful.

Ďakujem. Pozerám, že ale aj ty máš zaujímavý stroj. Mohli by sme sa niekedy stretnúť že by si mi o ňom povedal viac?

Ano mohli na LZDN.

@@robertpivarci Super, určite sa tam niekedy stavím keď pôjdem okolo ZV. Tak dúfam, že na seba natrafíme.

Hope you are having a great time flying both :D

New gyrocopter costs range from 100 to 200 thousand EUR. But you can find a used one for as low as 40 thousand EUR.

Glad you liked it.

😂Yes, people don’t know what a gyroplane is and it is sometimes exhausting to explain it to them. But he was actually asking if we don’t have problems with the police. So we told him that it is street legal and it is quite fun to get stopped by them. 😂

@@flying_bros прошедшим летом у меня так было Автожир стоял на прицепе , а ехать в одну сторону 1300 км , и на заправке и кафе были такие диалоги .

@@user-tq8ps5wh9u Wau. I'd love to see the video from that journey and people reactions :D

Owner of the gyrocopter in this video told me that his gyrocopter cost him around 160 000 EUR (brand new, with specific customization and color scheme and with street legal upgrade). And he bought it 2 years ago. But you can find a used gyrocopter (without street legal upgrade) as low as 40 000 EUR.

@flying_bros just asking to get an idea of pricing, thanks 🙏
