As a kid living in North Carolina I was first introduced to these when Igor Benson flew over my house a few times. I have been in love with them ever sense. Now I am 68, retired and have flown fixed wing many times in my life but still haven't flown a Gyro. (But not a Licensed Pilot) Talking to the wife about getting my Light Sport License and one of these to scoot down to San Antonio Texas (2.5~3) hours flying time) to vist the newest grandbaby born yesterday. The best part is the New Fairview TX airport (7TSO) is in my backyard. Guess I need to look around for an Intro flight for me and the wife. She has to be on board with this too, and she's kinda scardy cat with new things.:)
@@garrypainter4894 Thank you. He's a big boy. Born on 8/08/19 8 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches tall. Had a friend come see me yesterday and he has a buddy just North of my house who has a 2 seat side by side Gyro and is planning on giving me a ride. Been up many times in fixed wings and have my own log book. So I'm excited. Confined at the moment in a hospital with a broken leg. (fell off the house, safety belt broke) But as soon as I get out of here.
I doubt you will see this, but I had a question. Seems like you couldn't give it enough right rudder during take off, is this a characteristic of this particular gyrocopter or is it something else. I was interested in a Xenon but seems like you couldn't give it enough rudder to conteract the engine.
These gyro's ( Celier & AAT) have plenty of rudder authority it just the pilot, looks like getting used to the aircraft could be a student. These gyros fly vey well.If you want one look at AAT, anyone who has dealings with Celier seems to end in tears. AAT is solid. Note: I am a biased AAT gyro pilot of the early Xenon and the newer Tercel. I get 100% service back up from Artur Trendak Aviation.
Yes, he looks like he's doing conversion training on this type. I see some improvement in yaw control but he's slow to correct, especially on take off. But cut him some slack here. This is why we practice.
Started flying 172's, but just couldn't afford buying one and didn't feel safe in rentals, this is the best alternative. Affordable, easy to fly. And just a blast.
id love to own one ....hanger fee would be less....looks good ok speed ....what is the take off roll say loaded on an 85 degree day 2000 foot density altitude ?...
Невидно органов управления . Чуть ниже фокус сьемки и был бы хороший учебный ролик . И к озвучке нужно было подключить радиостанцию . Приятнее слышать радиосвязь , чем шум ротора .
Thanks for watching, will be adding more. Remember it is an experimental light sport and max weight is limited by the FAA. If you want an enclosed unit you will get something that is heavier. A single seat is very light. The Xenon is 640# or so empty. Weight is relative to comfort in flight and power plant chosen. Other models have gone with Lycoming rather than Rotax. Would not get a Xenon without looking at 100+ hp engine.

Congratulations buddy on the birth of your grandchild. Enjoy the autogiro. From a friend across the pond in Wales.

A very impressive aircraft. Very good quality rotors judging by the lack of stick shake.
Hi, what is the max. RPM and max. Manifold for that engine?

Looks like a lotta fun

Daniel B 300-800 ft depending on head wind and load.
C Cleveland looks fantastic ...my 172 e 1964. 145hp is 900 foot roll is the norm and thats not loaded to the max
Looks like in flight simulator...
Few times he tried to take of unsuccessfully

Xenon is too heavy...
