We are about everything Gyrocopters, Gyroplanes, AutoGyros... whatever you want to call them, but at least call them FUN! If you want to learn more about Gyrocopters, you've come to the right place! Adventure Air, located at Chino Airport (CNO) in Southern California is the United States' premiere Gyrocopter flight school. We strive to be The Best of The Best in flight instruction and Gyrocopter introduction.
Gyrocopters/planes have been around since about 1923 and the early models got a bad rep for safety, but with today's state of the art design, are practically the safest aircraft available. They are easy to fly and only require a minimum of 20 hours of instruction to be certified. They feature a low operating cost and can be found pre-owned, relatively inexpensive.

84. Get Them While They're Hot! AutoGyro Cavalon For Sale #adventure #air
Awesome Henry. Nice aircraft. Love the EVO.
I've always been fascinated by gyrocopters and all the ones I've ever seen in person there's no power to the rotor blades like there is on these how does that work and at what point does the engine stop supplying power to the rotor
Watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/9in6Z9RBbPg/v-deo.htmlsi=uGbRj-YTFpjWlJc_
Love it
In all the gyro videos on youtube, I have not seen showing people entering and exiting, any gyro yet.
I like this gerocopter
Wath the price for roetec 916 with 160 hp Ingion I like to see how the look ahf
Does it require a pilots license to fly??
Yes. In the USA, a light sport -gyroplane certificate is required.
So, is your Gyrocopter's main blade being powered by the engine during flight?? I see it being spun up before take off.
No..it's a true gyroplane.
Great to see you finally got your hands on a 916 Henry. Looks like fun. Thanks for sharing! Hope you’re doing well. I would like to see how the fuel burn compares to the 915, if there is enough rudder authority if you went full power on T/O, and if the 916 increases high altitude performance (like in Colorado).
Kylie’s face at takeoff!😬 I remember that!😂
I’m putting a 916 in my SportCopter M2 to use in Wyoming. Should work well.
Another machine that makes me wish I could fly, but I know for a fact that I won't. I can no longer even think as fast as the ATC's can talk.
X-Country from FL. Does any axis have AutoPilot? It would tire of that after awhile. Also, I flew with Helistream up to about 6 years ago with pattern work at Chino; a LOT of warehouses have replaced nearby farms. Pick your forced landing areas wisely! I enjoyed the ride. Fun NOE.
No more rush hour , I wish. Lol
LOOK at that stick shake !!!!! No thanks. Resonance causes huge issues in regards to longevity. Looks like the most uncomfortable ride ever !!!
It just needs a prop balance. After that it'll be smooth. It'll take about an hour to do.
@@AdventureAir As it stands, that stick will cause carpal tunnel syndrome in short order. Ignore the vibration at your own peril.
@@AdventureAir Fair enough
That’s a beautiful machine and the extra power is great.
Had the opportunity to fly one a few years back. I was a helicopter pilot and was amazed how much easier what I felt “safer” then the helicopters I was flying. So much simpler and easy to land!
Wow...that's exactly how I'd fly if I had one and I didn't know about drones! As a Part 107 (drone) pilot, we can legally fly up to (in some areas) 400'. If I were doing a mapping flight with my drone and you came screaming thru the same area, I highly doubt I'd see you in time to get out of your way. :-( Could become a really bad day for everybody. But still...beautiful little rocketship, and great flying.
That's farmland and known as a training area for us so drones wouldn't be an issue
she looks terrified..
Did you watch the whole video? She loved it and is now taking lessons
What’s the cruise speed? Seems with climb performance like that, it could meet requirements for IFR certification.
I saw it at El Mirage! And… 😉🤷🏻♂️
It's gonna be fixed and back up soon
Couldn't take the vibration. After a couple hrs ---------------------
I could not go across Country in a Aircraft that shutters like that .. Badass Gyro though :)
Just needs an afternoon to balance out the prop and it'll be good
@@AdventureAir Oh.......... Didn't know that..
@@AdventureAir You mean the rotor?
@@planeman1428 It has a prop and a rotor.
@@quantumss I know it does but he kept saying the propeller needed balancing but the propeller isn't attached to the stick just the rotor is. If the engine propeller is making the stick shake that bad you have a real problem.
A wise old pilot once sad to me any landing that you walk away from is a good landing
Whole lotta shaken going on, not good.
Not really. Just needs a minor balancing.
So there is stick shake at any speed???
It just needs a balance and it'll be fine.
Whats with all the vibration in the stick and seat?
The prop needs to be balanced. It's not that bad.
It my Dream-Gyro for sure. But fairly expensive...
It would be nice to see the take off and landing from an outside view. What I meant was a camera on the ground filming the craft taking off and landing
Yeah, we're working on an external camera mount
Why do the controls shake like that? The pilot is vibrating as well? Are all autogyros this way?
No, it's got low hours and they haven't balanced the prop yet. It's not that bad.
What a Nice Show 10-4 GREAT
Is the rotor powered by the wind?
Yes.
How many hours was that Flight from Florida to California ?
22 hours
@@AdventureAir Thank you for the answer
still faster then Driving / would take 3 days to Drive it
@@donj4084 Yup, crows always get there first.
I would love it but it's way out of my budget.
After this Flight I see why y'all Call iT ... Adventure Air .... bc One Can travel limited storage maybe but when flying for Fun , site seeing & cking out in detail new Places its Unbelievable way to get there
Are you restricted to a certain altitude? I notice while watching these videos, no one gets permission to land. Why not?
They say "cleared for the option" which means: you are cleared to land, touch and go, low pass over the runway. You always have the clearance to land if they give you the option. In an upcoming video, you will see the controller tell Henry he has to land and taxi back.
Awesome video! That's how flying should be 😊 That extra power will be nice and high density altitude areas like Utah. You always have enough power to get into trouble. Now maybe it will have enough power to get back out of it😂
Henry, when you begin your pre-rotation before taking the runway do you have to drag the brakes a bit as you take the runway to keep ground speed down until you have the required 200 rpm minimum on the rotor?
Lovely video Henry but not a great aircraft, flying 'on the prop' potentially unloading the rotors, which 915 and 916 do is not safe, reflected in the amount of crashes, UK insurer's very warey of low time pilots in Gyros with 915 or 916. VNE no better so you climb and gain 30 seconds, so what? Fuel burn at 'High power throttle map' between 32-36 litres an hour so given the mass of the engine and consumption you're worse off too. The ERA aircraft are currently not certified, in the past ELA and their UK Agent did attempt didn't pass UK BCAR section T with the ELA 07 but unfortunately couldn't do this economically for the small volume of aircraft they would sell, leaving just AutoGyro and Magni as the only current factory built aircraft available in the UK.
+@jasonrwilkinson9216 we have higher altitudes here and that extra power helps in high DA conditions. Proper application and training is always necessary. VNE for Calidus 916 is 150Kts.
Just did a quick google search and the UK BCAR sec T is for doors and props from what I can see. Do you have any detail on why it didn’t pass?
@@sho164 Thanks for your comment. BCAR Section T is the British Civil Airworthiness Standard, Section T is for Gyroplanes (as the CAA call them). BCAR's define everything about the aircraft including it's flight characteristics. The manufacturer or it's UK Agent must hold A8-1 which is the CAA Quality Standard for Design and Manufacturing and A8-9 which is for Flight Testing (of new and existing types). Section T is very strict, my understanding and I've possible slightly misled everyone in my message and I'll edit it to clarify is that the ELA 7 was put through UK CAA Section T and failed because of control forces required in different regimes of flying and would have required a redesign of the aircraft to achieve the standard which was uneconomical so ELA wouldn't make the changes necessary. Unfortunately the UK importer couldn't sell the aircraft they'd already ordered and ended up having to sell them abroad to recoup some of their costs, nobody has subsequently tried to bring ELA to the UK market to get it to pass BCAR Section T. The Autogyro aircraft that are certified are based on the BCAR Section T. In the UK and in other markets some models (like Cavalon Pro) are able to fly on a full Certificate of Airworthiness and therefore can be used for a range of commercial activities, I believe they are the only Gyroplanes in the world currently holding that level of airworthiness.
I really enjoy watching,but I'm so afraid of heights I don't know if I could do this, thank you very much.
Henry sounds like a kid on Christmas day. 😂
I haven't seen him react like that before!
What is the weight with the 916, useful load?
I would love to see the storage room/options please? Gotta get me one of these!
That’s my biggest gripe with ELA. I saw one at EAA and if you have a passenger, there’s really no internal room for a drink or basic stuff (that I could see). It has a little storage locker outside and the protrusions on the body also fit some stuff (3 total spaces). I would love an owners opinion, but this doesn’t seem like a great weekend trip machine for two people.
Got to be hot as hell in that
Not really.
@@TheGlock34man great ventilation AND has a summer option!
@@TheGlock34man carry Glock 34 everyday!!
But will these even hover in the air?
If you want a true hover, buy a helicopter. Higher maintenance costs, more expensive to own.
@@AdventureAir lol but u can land anywhere
Nice machine
Seems nice if you want the extra power to climb. I don't believe Vne changes because you have this engine. Maybe someone can tell me differently.
The VNE is raised to 150 knots.
@@AdventureAirWhat structural changes were made to accommodate the higher speed?
@@AdventureAir 150 mph right not knots. At 150 mph you are going to start running into aerodynamic issues of equalizing lift for a 28 foot 2 blade rotor.
I was getting ready to say I think it's 150 mph not knots.
@@ictpilot I welcome any increase in cruise speed capability because we all know these are slow. Typical VNE is 120mph. If increased to 150, that is great news, but as mentioned above, there must have been a design change otherwise can tip, if much over 120.
What about a canopy shade? That cockpit is going to be a sauna. Otherwise, a champ of an engine, you're right.
There are aftermarket options available.
Looks awesome buddy. Is the panel still right at our shins? Those elas are not made for taller pilots.
How does it compare price/comfort wise with the Calidus 916 looks very similar
