    Thats a beautiful aircraft, looks like amazing fun to fly especially how the rotor tends to dampen turbulence!! I liked and subscribed, want to see more videos like this. I typically watch GA planes etc. Used to fly paragliders in my 30s but that was long ago. Took flying lessons but never soloed, too spendy for my blood but wish i had in retrospect!
    Thanks for the great video!

    Fantastic video, thanks for sharing! Really hoping this becomes more prevalent in the US. How bad is that stick shake over time?

      thanks for that , I think it’s something first you need to get use too and then you forget it’s there .

    17:25 Can a gyroplane maintain a fixed altitude during turbulence easier than a fixed-wing aircraft? what about comparison of altitude holding between helicopter and gyroplane?

    • @michaelhille261
      @michaelhille261  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would say that this would be similar however I have only once had a go in a helicopter so it’s a tough comparison for me to say .

    Michael, I was wondering if the rotor blade has no power source in the air, where is the power coming from to spin it on the ground before take off?

      His description of the prerotor system starts at 2:30

    • @michaelhille261
      @michaelhille261  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They use a Pre rotation system to get the rotor up to speed prior to takeoff

    How much do they go for second-hand, anything you should look out for
    What about kit form what's the best kit they come in kit form

      They sell from 50 to 150 depending on 912 914 or 915 and obviously the model M16, M22 or M24 etc

    how far can you fly wiht a full tank?

    • @michaelhille261
      @michaelhille261  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It burns 25 Litres an hour with 80L tank so 3.2 hrs or roughly 500km

    City of Derry has a railway track across the runway.

      So it’s not the only one after all 👍🏻it’s definitely strange to see

    Why choose a gyro over a helicopter? The fuel cost is 4 or 5 times higher than a faster light sport plane and not much less than fuel than a small helicopter - by my eyes.

    • @michaelhille261
      @michaelhille261  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good question. To be honest I’m not entirely sure Maint cost are definitely lower than a factory helicopter but I think it’s just one of those things people like.

    Can you order a trap door to take a dump in flight? Taco Tuesdays are a bitch

      I’m sure anything is possible 😜

    Lovely countryside. Where is this? Can you introduce me to a woman who can make an overnight trip subject to the "baggage" limits of this aircraft? Please send name, phone number, and photo of her boat.

  • @dwightmcqueen5771
    @dwightmcqueen5771 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh this is 2 seater

    • @chetmyers7041
      @chetmyers7041 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Looks like great fun to fly, but not much baggage capacity. Notice the two tiny his/her travel bags. Room for wallet, toothpaste, change of underwear and thin shirt. What lady could travel this light for overnight trip?
