Thank you for watching... Tandem vs Side-by-side... In my opinion they both have a place in the gyro world. I prefer tandems because of the better visibility on both sides of the aircraft for both crew members, better aerodynamics (skinnier body), better balance when flying solo. Side-by-sides are better for crew interaction when looking outside is secondary to the ability to converse with your passenger. these are usually less nimble. At the end of teh day what matters is your chosen mission for the gyro you are planning to get. Pay for some demo flights with as many models as possible, that could save you big bucks by allowing to choose correctly what works best for you.
awesome ride! reminds of of original Mad Max2 movie with same idea
Thank you for watching...
Hello, I love your videos.
What advantages do you see in your tandem over a side by side gyro ?

Can I ask you a question ?
When you turn sharp on that approach, does it put a lot of load on the rotors?
Yes, sir, and that is exactly the point of this maneuver. Sharp turn, loads the rotor, spins it faster, provides energy for soft landing.
