Would have liked to have seen more commentary as to the flying characteristics, comparisons to other gyros you have flown, advantages/disadvantages, etc. Thanks for sharing the video. Nice low level footage!
Great to see you finally got your hands on a 916 Henry. Looks like fun. Thanks for sharing! Hope you’re doing well. I would like to see how the fuel burn compares to the 915, if there is enough rudder authority if you went full power on T/O, and if the 916 increases high altitude performance (like in Colorado).
Looks like a beautiful machine! I understood that the 160 HP of the 916 is available for 5 minutes and that after that it behaves like a 915. Still very useful to have the power should you need it, but I personally would opt for the 915 and aim to fly so that I will not need those 20 HP extra, also because the 916 is quite a bit more expensive. Still, beautiful machine and if you have the money and it suits your preferences, why not? 😄
That’s my biggest gripe with ELA. I saw one at EAA and if you have a passenger, there’s really no internal room for a drink or basic stuff (that I could see). It has a little storage locker outside and the protrusions on the body also fit some stuff (3 total spaces). I would love an owners opinion, but this doesn’t seem like a great weekend trip machine for two people.
Starting with Candy Apple Red, it's proof enough of Perfection concept. From late 60's on first custom build motorcycle- Candy Red over gold is still the default color scheme. Cheers
Awesome video! That's how flying should be 😊 That extra power will be nice and high density altitude areas like Utah. You always have enough power to get into trouble. Now maybe it will have enough power to get back out of it😂
It would be nice to see the take off and landing from an outside view. What I meant was a camera on the ground filming the craft taking off and landing
X-Country from FL. Does any axis have AutoPilot? It would tire of that after awhile. Also, I flew with Helistream up to about 6 years ago with pattern work at Chino; a LOT of warehouses have replaced nearby farms. Pick your forced landing areas wisely! I enjoyed the ride. Fun NOE.
@@quantumss I know it does but he kept saying the propeller needed balancing but the propeller isn't attached to the stick just the rotor is. If the engine propeller is making the stick shake that bad you have a real problem.
Henry, when you begin your pre-rotation before taking the runway do you have to drag the brakes a bit as you take the runway to keep ground speed down until you have the required 200 rpm minimum on the rotor?
After this Flight I see why y'all Call iT ... Adventure Air .... bc One Can travel limited storage maybe but when flying for Fun , site seeing & cking out in detail new Places its Unbelievable way to get there
What was the outside temp and humidity ...ok humidity is low (btw, I need a high-performance machine) is there an autopilot? Does it have wind and height sensors?
Very cool. Question - where is the vibration coming from primarily? I realize it is 2 rotor, but if that's where it emanates can you not balance it out?
@adventureair Henry I just recently found your channel and love the videos. I have a simple question. I have a mild case of cerebral palsy and am hemiplegic (left side very limited use). I know I have no chance with a helicopter but is it possible I would be able to fly something like the Cavalon? Your opinion and advice is appreciated.
+@newguy360576 the first question I'll ask is, do you have a driver's license? That is all that is required for a light sport license. The next question is, are you able to operate the controls? It would be better if you called and we could talk and discuss your abilities.
Gyros used to have to spin up the rotor by a relatively long takeoff run. Modern gyros can connect the engine to the rotor to pre-rotate it thus shortening the takeoff run. Once the rotor RPMs are sufficient to provide lift, the rotor freewheels due to airflow.
I've always been fascinated by gyrocopters and all the ones I've ever seen in person there's no power to the rotor blades like there is on these how does that work and at what point does the engine stop supplying power to the rotor
Wow...that's exactly how I'd fly if I had one and I didn't know about drones! As a Part 107 (drone) pilot, we can legally fly up to (in some areas) 400'. If I were doing a mapping flight with my drone and you came screaming thru the same area, I highly doubt I'd see you in time to get out of your way. :-( Could become a really bad day for everybody. But still...beautiful little rocketship, and great flying.
You’re missing something.. How do you think wind turbines work? Aerodynamics of the rotor blades being pushed through the air by the prop by the engine…
They say "cleared for the option" which means: you are cleared to land, touch and go, low pass over the runway. You always have the clearance to land if they give you the option. In an upcoming video, you will see the controller tell Henry he has to land and taxi back.
What is the rotor RPM at liftoff??? can you pre-rotate to a higher RPM for a shorter takeoff??? Wondering how well it would work in a backcountry setting....thanx
Lovely video Henry but not a great aircraft, flying 'on the prop' potentially unloading the rotors, which 915 and 916 do is not safe, reflected in the amount of crashes, UK insurer's very warey of low time pilots in Gyros with 915 or 916. VNE no better so you climb and gain 30 seconds, so what? Fuel burn at 'High power throttle map' between 32-36 litres an hour so given the mass of the engine and consumption you're worse off too. The ERA aircraft are currently not certified, in the past ELA and their UK Agent did attempt didn't pass UK BCAR section T with the ELA 07 but unfortunately couldn't do this economically for the small volume of aircraft they would sell, leaving just AutoGyro and Magni as the only current factory built aircraft available in the UK.
+@jasonrwilkinson9216 we have higher altitudes here and that extra power helps in high DA conditions. Proper application and training is always necessary. VNE for Calidus 916 is 150Kts.
@@sho164 Thanks for your comment. BCAR Section T is the British Civil Airworthiness Standard, Section T is for Gyroplanes (as the CAA call them). BCAR's define everything about the aircraft including it's flight characteristics. The manufacturer or it's UK Agent must hold A8-1 which is the CAA Quality Standard for Design and Manufacturing and A8-9 which is for Flight Testing (of new and existing types). Section T is very strict, my understanding and I've possible slightly misled everyone in my message and I'll edit it to clarify is that the ELA 7 was put through UK CAA Section T and failed because of control forces required in different regimes of flying and would have required a redesign of the aircraft to achieve the standard which was uneconomical so ELA wouldn't make the changes necessary. Unfortunately the UK importer couldn't sell the aircraft they'd already ordered and ended up having to sell them abroad to recoup some of their costs, nobody has subsequently tried to bring ELA to the UK market to get it to pass BCAR Section T. The Autogyro aircraft that are certified are based on the BCAR Section T. In the UK and in other markets some models (like Cavalon Pro) are able to fly on a full Certificate of Airworthiness and therefore can be used for a range of commercial activities, I believe they are the only Gyroplanes in the world currently holding that level of airworthiness.
Yeah, did he build his in his backyard from a popular mechanics magazine? Did he get formal flight training?.I'm guessing he didn't.. those antiquated models don't exist anymore. Technology and training make these the safest aircraft out there..
@@AdventureAir 150 mph right not knots. At 150 mph you are going to start running into aerodynamic issues of equalizing lift for a 28 foot 2 blade rotor.
@@ictpilot I welcome any increase in cruise speed capability because we all know these are slow. Typical VNE is 120mph. If increased to 150, that is great news, but as mentioned above, there must have been a design change otherwise can tip, if much over 120.
And I’m guessing the Revo has a relatively simple clutch system for main rotor pitch. Once blade is up to certain rpm, clutch engage to “snap” rotor to flight pitch and remains there until next takeoff. Just a guess though.
I've flown several of these rigs over the years and all of them felt like I was riding inside a giant vibration machine. I guess that's because I was riding in a giant vibration machine. As to this guy, I hope that was his own property he was buzzing at treetop level or, if not, he had the permission of the owner. Not sure or don't recall as to FAR's for a Gyro. I'm guessing my brain got at least a little scrambled after the few flights I've done in these things.
Thanks for watching! Everything we do is legal. Sounds like you needed to balance your prop. This one needs a minor balance and it'll be smooth as butter.
@@AdventureAir Well, pal, you made the statement so let's see if you can back it up (as to legality of buzzing that property) because it's going into report status in YT's content modulation division RIGHT NOW. If you are serious that you believe that was legal, fine. For starters, show us what airspace you were in. If it wasn't Gulf, then show us the ATC clearance for that buzz job. If it was Gulf, then confirm you owned the property you buzzed or had the owner's permission. As far as tuning, then I guess your rig needs a tune-up because you are shaking like a leaf in a breeze in that vid. For reference, the video has gone ON REPORT under the "Other Dangerous Acts" subsection as per YT. I will refer this to the FAA for further investigation unless, of course, the matter can be otherwise resolved and confirmed, to the satisfaction of a couple of us, as to your claim of "Everything we do is legal...". Nothing personal, here, but we just have to protect the overall aviation community in this period of proficiency dilution and increased accident rates across all types and categories. Quite frankly, we really cannot rely on the FAA to perform its protective duties any longer, so all we can do is become Aviation Karen equivalents and call out safety lapses.
@@Franklin-pc3xd We have permission from the property owner. It's in GOLF airspace. We have a few videos about prop balancing, you should check them out. As mentioned in other comments in this video, a prop balance will negate most of the stick vibration. It probably looks worse on video than in real life due to frame rate.
