- In this video I do a review of my Magni M16 gyroplane and discuss how I use it on my cattle farm in South Africa.

Great review, thanks
i have the m16 912, absolutely love it. I was trained in it and purchased it at 300hrs. have flown from the east coast to west coast, and up through northern australia. flew the m16 recently on a solo 4 month camping trip without any issues.
Thanks for sharing
I am sure this is a very good tool in combating the rampant farm invasions and also for stock theft.
Yes, absolutely. Its an extremely valuable tool. Especially here in south africa with regards to stock theft.
Where did you train to fly gyrocopter? How long and how much to train for pilot with gyros? Excellent explanation and I am interested 👍
Hi there, I suppose it depends what country you are from and the laws pertaining to training etc. I would say around 20 -50 hours to go solo depending on your age and skill level.
I’m buying a Sportcopter M2 . Just waiting for final engine test with a different engine from Rotax 915. Considering AeroMomentum 140HP. Turbo. Going to be based in Wyoming. 5200ft.MSL. Density altitudes in summer 6500’ SportCopter sells to many Australian cattle stations. SportCopter has a full castor nosewheel so less problem with landing a little crabbed.
Sounds like a nice machine. Enjoy!
I, too, have done my money on the Sportcopter M2. Never to be seen again. US$20 000 deposit. Gone.
@@jimmys3983 $20,000 deposit? That is not the deposit number. The M2 is in production. I am assembling mine next month.
Was there a particular reason for choosing the Magni? I recently learned in the M16 and loved it, but am finding a variety of tandem machines for sale and would like to learn why people chose their specific model.
Yes, Magni has n good track record on reliability and stability for many years. That being said, there are some good alternatives out there. Best to fly them and see what you like best.
Baie nice video. Insiggewend.
Nog altyd nuuskierig. Hoe vergelyk n gyro in Turbulensie teenoor n ligte sport vliegtuig?
As hy goed is in hoë wind behoort hy turbulensie soos n champ te vat. Want warm dae hier in Suid Afrika is darm maar glad nie lekker in n ligte vaste vlerk nie.
Aj, heeltemal reg. Gyros hanteer turbulensie ongelooflik goed agv die lae "wing loading" en ja, heelwat beter as 'n ligte vaste vlerk vliegtuig.
@@agventures1001 baie dankie vir die terugvoer.
Geniet die kanaal baie.
I did do and pass my academic helicopter 🚁 license, but did not proceed to the practical qualification since I don't feel comfortable in air turbulence and especially air pockets.
( over and above the cost of ownership).
What is the feeling and reaction of the gyro in air pocket conditions?
Maybe a gyro is an option again.
Second question: many speak of safety. A client of mine was 1 of 7 friends who owned gyros. 5 was killed in accidents, so my client sold his.
I also had an insurance broker friend who owned one, and had 3 accidents - but that is much attributable to pilot error.
Can gyros then really be said to be safe with such statistics?
Hi Gerrit. Hoe gaan dit? Thanks for commenting...😀 If you dont feel comfortable in turbulance its best you dont fly😅. Gyros do handle turbulance very well though. I find it hard to believe the story of 5 out of 7 friends being killed in gyro accidents. Are you sure? But I suppose its possible . But I wont blame it on the gyro. Gyros are safe; period... Its human error and sometimes stupidity in most cases that cause accidents. As the saying goes: You get old pilots and you get bold pilots. But you dont get old bold pilots😄
Hi @@agventures1001 ,
Dit gaan goed dankie.
Is ek seker van die 5 uit 7 gyro sterftes? Kan nooit seker wees van hoorsê getuienis nie.
Dankie vir die advies van "bly eerder weg van turbulensie". 😊
