- This isn't intended for training purposes, we are not certified flight instructors. This is Lukas from Fusioncopter doing a test flight and the reason why you see the speeds in km/meters. You will also notice the rotor RPM spike from time to time, FlyFocus is working on a software update to correct. This is first ever video I have posted, very basic, learning and will get better Visit www.flynanogyro.com for more info on the Nano

Most excellent and INSPIRING... Thank you!
Love the POV video
Love the video n love that Gyro! Thanks!
Thank You! I had a purchase order filled out last February, and I backed out for a few reasons. The first was that there was not enough info. At that time there was only the very few "distance" videos. The second was not enough engine options. A close second was the throttle on the stick. I still don't get that....but it seems to work. I've heard nothing but positive reviews of these machines. Apparently, the fit and finish is superb. The price is right. Some more vids would definitely push folks like me into a buy.
One owner actually moved the throttle to the left side near his thigh area behind the Start button. I thought that was a good spot but after doing the prerotation I came to the conclusion it was best where it is as you need to engine rpms, hold brake and move red level (engage prerotation) and I found it easier to handle the 2 levers with my left hand. When I fly I will explain it all in the video and get it posted, I think it will make more sense that way. The fit and finish is very professional / top notch. Fusioncopter is very detail orientated and look for perfection in everything. In the 2 shows I have attended so far I haven't heard one negative comment towards the build quality from anyone. Thanks for the interest, subscribe if you haven't so you get all future videos.
@@flynanogyro220 - Hi, I saw an announcement from another company which I thought could also be useful for your flying machine:
th-cam.com/video/_S45iiXN2XM/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/sZNx-OdFX5M/w-d-xo.html
Do you think you might be able to make use of something like this for JK-2 Nano?
I like the design choices. I think to find one with 5 years on it would be a treat.

Very cool!!
Pretty darn cool
Boy, if I didn't want one of those before this video.....
Who else just ended a MSFS flight session, and now still in their Simpit, watching this, and still 'flying' ?
It's a beautiful video. Nice and clear. I like being able to see the instrument readouts. What exactly are the controls on the side of the yoke? Is that throttle and choke?
Red knob is prerotator and yellow knob is the throttle.
Sounds lovely and rattly. In and out off strip continuously. Maybe a friend owns ?. Have you got specs/cost available or website details ?. Smashing gov. Dave
Is there any way or need for trim in the Nano? Also, what is the little black box upper left?
No trim needed, very light forces are needed in the Nano. The black box in upper left is the FlyFocus instrumentation, temps, rpms, fuel level etc.
No trim, black box is the FlyFocus system, has all the temps, rpms for engine and rotor, fuel gauge, etc...
After such a flight, your hand shakes so much that you can’t even hold a glass of whiskey. 😂
Looks like minimal stick vibration. 👍🏻
It's more than I've seen in the videos from Poland.
I understand the excitement and being nervous but there are standard airport patterns and altitudes. Thanks and liked.
Mnice59, that's a good observation, but Advisory Circular AC 90-66B states that rotorcraft should "avoid the flow of fixed wing traffic" for their traffic patterns. I would say that the pot in this video did a good job of doing that.
Good to see yours flying Jeffrey!
I noticed the mild stick shake, quite responsive (twitchy?) to control inputs, and the farly 'notchy' rotor rpm indication- needs more pulses/rev on the rpm sensor to give a finer resolution.
Climbs very nicely at WOT, and looks like about 80 kph cruise at 5000 rpm- that will do me.
Looking forward to receving my machine- it is on the water now.
Actually, looking closer at the rotor rpm- the numeric indication has good resolution, it is the analog display that is notchy and doesn't start indicating until about 200rpm.
Looks like expanded scale from 200 rpm up?
"mild stick shake" Didn't seem at all mild. Pilot had to relieve his hand only minutes into the FLT. This is something that needs to be addressed as it is a deal killer for me. Otherwise, a beautiful machine.
Look great!
Can you tell me where that flight instrument comes from?
Company called FlyFocus, i believe they are based out of Poland.
Where was this video taken?
Monticello KY
Can you get a six pack and radio installed and fly in controlled airspace? I have a commercial gyrocopter and I kind of want one of these.
All that would put you out of part 103, would need to go experimental
I appreciate the answer. Sorry I’m not that familiar with part 103 or operating under an experimental airworthiness certificate. All of my time has been under part 91 and it’s been a couple years since I’ve flown.
Looks like some of the parts on the cyclic stick are 3 D printed. Hope to see you at Oshkosh this year. I am bring my check book.
Yes sir, good eye, several parts are 3D printed, some of the seat belt buckles, the rotor brake lever and I believe they just change part of the prerotation system to have a 3D component to make it easier to adjust the belt tension. I will be at Oshkosh, see you in a few months!!!
@@flynanogyro220 Thank you for the fast reply. You have a very nice machine, I will give it a good looking over at Oshkosh...Ha! Ha!
Looks and sounds like it is performing pretty well. I did notice the stick vibration... maybe a little more rotor balance work could improve it just a bit. Really nothing I'd be all that uncomfortable with though. I want one!
Fusioncopter saw this comment and they are already working on reducing the stick shake, made a change and noticed improvement already.
@@jeffreyboyd876 Awesome! I can't wait to get mine. I'll have to drive out and fly with you!
yeah that rotor gauge really set off my ocd
A motorcycle bar-end weight might dampen some of that shake in the stick.
A lot of stick vibration. Why?
Lukas was pretty quick to keep nose down and that is where the stick shake happened, all gyros will have stick shake to a certain degree, Fusioncopter has made adjustments to reduce the shake already, you don't feel it when in flight, at least I don't.
whats the life limits of blades, hub, bearing
500 hrs on blades which is a long time in an ultralight. Replacement blades are free, just need to pay for shipping.
What's gross weight/useful load?
50hp model 245lb max pilot weight with full fuel (5 gallons)
Dear Santa...
I want one
A hell of a lot of stick shake. Your hand will be numb after a short time. And a lot of stress on the links. Like the instrument panel, what is it
Stick shake issue has been resolved, all Gyros will have to some degree but this was a very aggressive takeoff. It is a company called FlyFocus over in Poland, I am not sure if they are making units for other companies yet.
Nice aircraft, but too much stick feedback for me, my arm would be killing me after a short period of time.
Fusioncopter is looking into ways to decrease stick shake more.
The stick shake seen in this video is truly at the beginning only, all gyros have stick shake to a degree, Fusioncopter have seen the comments and have made adjustments already.
Made in Poland 😊
Who Needs A Mosquito Anyway ! This Is Also Factory Built For 1/3 The Price
this thing requires a hangar at an airstrip. The mosquito requires a garage and a yard.
@@codmott286 True Enough. And, I Said That As A Fan Of That Very Cool Little Helio. Any Idea Of It's Approximate Take Off Roll ? I'm Fortunate To Have Some Acreage.
@@codmott286 Or an enclosed trailer
Better to stand for something than stand for nothing. - Jeffrey Fieger
Fits nicely into a 7’x12’ trailer. 4 bolt blade install takes 5 minutes with 2 people or 8 mines alone. Takeoff run is approximately 650’ over a 50’ obstacle at standard pressure. I love the Mosquito and may pick one up, but the $$ wasn’t in the budget this year. Plus you get well over an hour flight time with the Nano as compared with 35-45 minutes with the Mosquito XEL.
google police remove my comment ,, this is a flying -machine google police ,,, bedst stick video , you can really see what is happening... good video
Why are you sitting in the middle of the runway, blocking any traffic, winding up your rotors. Do it in the run up bay.
Low traffic airport
