Who has control,
Roger Savage, who operates out of Carlisle, is one of only 7 gyro instructors in the country. He has a very good reputation, and I found him a good instructor (a bit sexist, but that's another story). He also flies both f/w aircraft and helicopters; has around 3000 hours TT. I'm supposed to be working, but if you nag me enough I might be able to find his phone number. Otherwise find the British Rotorcraft Association's website - do a search - and details of all gyro instructors are there.
Yes I fancy having a go at flying everything too. So far I've managed f/w light aircraft, helicopters, microlights (3-axis), gliders, gyroplanes, balloons (tethered flight only though, doesn't really count), and hang-gliders. Got to try weightshift microlights, paragliding, and probably one or two I've forgotten. What have you flown and how were they?
