Having spent the past 30 yrs flying fixed wing and the addition in the past two years of rotary I had my first spin in the gyrocopter with R.C.last Sunday at Carlisle.
Brilliant fun and plenty banter from the many pilots who have built and fly their own machines.One guy told me it only costs £15 p.h.to run his single seater which is a darn sight cheaper than £140 for a Robbo.
We are looking to form a group around our pub crowd and base it in our local farmers field.
For someone used to flying a C401 it was a little disconcerting for the first 10 minutes to be sat,like a pea on a drum,in an open cockpit,but I enjoyed the low level stuff immensly.It's like a flying motorbike and,more immportantly,within most peoples reach.
I must read up on the accident reports but negative g is bad news in a Robbo so I am familiar with that.
Anyway,good luck.I'm sure we are going to see more of them around.
