Honored to have lucked upon your adventures. I would assume you are an experienced aviator that has found the joy of gyro? Excellent presentation and editing. Truly a joy to watch, Sir.
No actually I started learning to fly a Gyro in 2017 then switched to an Ultralight aircraft- I CP Savannah and have now recently passed a full PPL A so only been flying about 4 1:2 years altogether!! Thanks for your kind remarks
Do you have any heli experience? I would think that any autogyro experience would be great as you’re basically flying as if you were in a heli with an engine failure all the time with respect to managing rotor rpm speed ect.
Heli experience doesn’t help as you only have a stick and no collective. The rotor speed is around 360-400 rpm once in flight but is a factor of forward speed of the prop that is pushing you You can’t land like a heli but more like a plane but it is quite a short landing
@@philipgoldsmithpilot Thanks Philip. Which Gopro model? (I use Gopro7) with maximum wide angle? attached to the back between the headphones? Thanks a lot
You don’t need anti ice on a Gyrocopter as the rotors are spinning at around 380RPM ( similar speeds to a helicopter) so no ice forms on them. I have flown in very cold conditions - 15c no icing issues
@@lagyro No Oxygen, no real hypoxia but just started to feel very slight symptoms so stopped climbing and the engine was working totally normally. Climbing up I was at around 5200rpm but then reduced while flying level then reduced to around 4600-4700 while descending. I think the Gyro would have carried on climbing. My Instructor flies an ELA 10 with the same engine and he has flown over Mont Blanc altitude at summit 15,780! No Oxygen
@@philipgoldsmithpilot thanks for the response. I live in California in striking distance of the Sierras and would like to do some high altitude flying with my AR-1 with a 914... I would take oxygen though... :)
why is it that the flying people all get excited about using Oxygen at 10-12k feet? In America we have a mountain known as Pikes Peak (14,115 feet) and nobody wears oxygen rigs even when racing cars up the mountain.
Very, very nice video! The voice-over was perfect. Thank you very much.
Whoa…made my day…what a blessing to all who have wondered what it would be like …thx from a retired Aviator.
Thanx for sharing.
Looking at the Matterhorn in a Gyro. Doesn’t get any better than that.
Nice.

Cool ! Great ! Like it !
Great Job! Without add Oxygen?

Nice video quality! What kind of camera did you use?
Just a go pro with anti shake

@@philipgoldsmithpilot Sorry, was a Superview angle ?
Do you have any anti ice system on your bird?

Gopro 7 with Superview angle?
Hero 7 Black with Standard Lens
What engine do you have on your Magni?
L.A. Gyroplane Aviation Rotax 914UL
@@philipgoldsmithpilot fantastic flight. How was the engine performance at that altitude? Did you use oxygen?

@@lagyro Unless you fly over 12,500 don't bother with O2, it is just extra weight that will cut down your ability to fly high!!

It is very simple, EASA stipulates that we need oxygen above 12500 feet
Rotax 914
TOO QUIET
