Just to reconfirm something, a properly designed gyro is just about the most pleasant and fun flying machine you can get. Also with proper training they are very safe.

For what ever it is worth I have been flying helicopters since 1965 and gyroplanes since 1991, and am the holder of U.S Commercial Gyroplane Pilot License and have flown several different makes of gyros.

If I ever retire from this damn flying business I plan on rebuilding my RAF 2000 to a centerline thrust with proper tail feathers on it, then I want to build a Little Wing....

Go get a ride with Roger Savage in his Magni and if you are not really impressed I'll be very suprised.

Chuck.
