Various Pilot’s Experiences With Gyrocopters




Have you ever noticed how the recommendation of a third party always carries more weight than the ‘pitch’ of some slick salesperson. The two people could tell you exactly the same thing about a product or service, but in the end you’re going to pay a little more attention to someone that doesn’t have a vested interest in whatever it is that’s up for sale.

So to that end we’ve decided to start collecting stories from people about their positive experiences with the newer styles of gyro that are available these days.

And I’m not necessarily talking just about our brand.

Even though our gyro’s have been certified to a standard no other manufacturer has attained, there are some other decent manufacturers worldwide and people every day are experiencing for themselves what it is about a ‘New Generation Gyroplane’ that makes them such a fantastic recreational aircraft, no matter what your skill or experience.

Gone are the days where flying a gyrocopter meant low level flying within a 10km radius of your landing strip.

There are gyrocopters available today with a range approaching 1000km, and capable of flying to an elevation of many thousands of feet, making them comparable to any other light aircraft available.

If you happen to come across any such stories (or maybe you have one yourself) let us know and we’ll include a link to it here.
