Basic kit is around $24K. Engines start about $8K. Radios and instruments are whatever you want to spend. As for training, if you’re already a pilot you can go to several places around the country and get your sport gyro in a couple of days. I just did it this summer. Now I want a GT VX2!
Nice looking machine.. But Denis needs to do a refresher on P factor. What he is talking about is actually slipstream effect. Hopefully that's just slip of the tongue!
I believe that it is a mistake to anodize any flight critical aluminum parts. A friend of mine lost his Safari due to an anodized aluminum control tube. Anodizing can reduce fatigue life by as much as 50%. Do the research. A number of universities have done studies on the effects of anodizing aluminum.
You are correct. Anodizing does weaken the material. Well aware of the safari accident. As you will see, none of the flight-critical components, such as the control rods are anodized for just this reason. Also, the safari has long control rods which amplifies the resonance / vibration in these areas.
Gyros are NOT complex machines. They fly very similar to a conventional aircraft. Have basically the same controls, but can land and take off basically from anywhere.

Great interview. Denis’ products are nothing short of amazing. The attention to detail is evident in every part. I hope to build one soon.
Good guy. Very approachable. More than willing to take time to talk about his contraption to a novice like myself.
W❤️W! That’s Awesome! Cheers for more exciting and incredible flights!🥂❤️✨
How much does a kit run typically? And if you are familiar with flying fixed wing how do you make the transition to a gyrocopter?

Thanks for the comment. Yep, get a little uneasy in front of the camera, and words don't always come out correct.
How many cranking amps does a 503 Rotax need
I've often wondered -- Does Dan fly his own aircraft ?
Does anyone know ?

Gyros are complex birds for what they are. It's a curiosity but fixed wing seems strictly superior.
