Back in the late 80s, I was flying with a company doing pipeline patrol of fiber optic rights of way. The rule here in the US is that you should have permission from the land owner in order to land. Since we never knew where we would be at lunchtime, and cell phones didn't really exist yet, we were told by our boss to land, and then just ask the restaurant staff if parking the helicopter was OK. We never had anyone complain!
You can buy an add-on to your gyroplane/gyrocopter. It is called GyroMotion ( they basically add motors, battery, side mirrors,...). I interviewed the owner of this company, you can see the video on my channel.
Isn't brake lights and turn signals required where you were driving on the road? Can you provide the weight increase numbers for the battery and drive system?
Yes and also insurance for cars, but this gyroplane has it all. Don’t know the exact numbers, check out their website (in the description below the video) for more information.
@@wmason1961 It's a product of Czech company which primary produces motors for paragliding. They are also distributors of German produced gyrocopter AutoGyro. And very smart people who found a hole in law which allows to obtain license plates for it. They equip AutoGyros with all necesities for road legal vehicle (lights, horn, electric motor etc.) so it can be registered in category of special vehicles. Special vehicles are allowed to use roads between points where they do their main tasks. To this category belong usually construction machines like excavators or agricultural like combines. So you can drive this thing from an airfield to petrol station, hotel and everywhere you want, but it's not legal to use it for transit on roads only and maximum speed is limited to 40 km/h.
Gyroplane in the video is Autogyro Calidus (with optional street legal upgrade). Gyroplanes in general are in my opinion the best aircraft for new pilots. They are in my opinion safest and most practical in the LSA category and are also relatively affordable.
You should have shown how you have to secure the rotor with the teeter frame and straps before you drive down the road. That's the only downside I see to this.
Hi, you can see the transformation process in the video called: From Paramotors to GyroMotion on my YT channel and I will also include it in my future videos. I wanted to keep this video simple for entertainment purposes.
Unfortunately yes, gyroplanes are known for the vibrations during flight. Some models are more vibrant, some less. But on the other hand they handle turbulent air and strong wind very well. Much better than fixed wing aircrafts.
I think that they are designed to climb 12% gradient (max. street gradient in Europe) without any problem. Maybe if I will have time between my flight lessons we can do some tests and make a video about it. So don’t forget to subscribe.
Where should I take Street Legal Gyro next? Any ideas?

This is great. By far better than any multirotor concept 👍
Excellent!! That you you did makes me happy, I was grinning through the whole video.
The BEST!
Best vid ive seen this year.. cant do that in a fixed wing
I wish i have a car like that
my way the same from PPG to Gyroplane. Nice man!
Amazing machine 👍👍🇬🇧
Beautiful video …. Please explain to me how the plane moves on the ground without rotating the propeller?

@@flying_brosI can’t believe this is happening. But amazing product development is the last decade. Thanks for sharing such an amazing concept.
how much?
That’s so dam cool

No, anything goes in the U.S. now. You can even take your cow or horse into any corporate owned Walmart or a grocery store.😃

@jameslester3861 the licence plates definitely dont look American.

@Kookamungawerewolf thats not america
Amazing, once i leave airport to gas station, but only on the other side of street, still not legal… using propeller.
Street legal upgrade was invented exactly for that.
Well done with your heliburger and chips 🍟
How did you pull this one off? Legally?
Check out my video: From Paramotors to Gyromotion. I interviewed in that video an inventor of Street Legal Gyrocopters.
Great Idea, What type of ground propulsion is used. Evedent that it is not from propeller. Cheers.
Electric motors with LiFePo4 battery.
@@flying_bros What range do you get from the batteries? Cheers
What drives the copter on the road? Is there a transmission? Very interesting!
Yes, you are right! There was nothing any transmission ön the chopper!
Electric motors and LiFePo4 battery.
@@flying_bros Or the second variant - a generator powered by main engine.
Excellent 😅
How do you charge the battery ?do you have to plug it in or does it charge of the engin
You have to charge it from the grid.
Why McDonalds? Isn't life already dangerous enough in a gyrocopter?
MODERN gyrocopters are in my opinion safest LSA to fly in. They don’t stall and can withstand strong winds and thermals.
Gyros are much safer than eating McDonalds food. 🤣
@@BakerStudiosIndy Lol🤣
No. You need a gyrocopter to go through the drive through
Duh
😂
@@BakerStudiosIndyBy far !
how many km in electric mode? You can recharge it starting up the engine?
About 40km and recharging only from the AC socket at this moment (maybe in the future, maybe). Thanks for watching.
what country is this in?
are Gyros legal for driving on the streets?
What is the model?
I'm looking forward to what aircraft to learn that would be sort-of affordable and practical. and this one looks DAMN PRACTICAL :)
Gyroplane in the video is Autogyro Calidus (with optional street legal upgrade). Gyroplanes in general are in my opinion the best aircraft for new pilots. They are in my opinion safest and most practical in the LSA category and are also relatively affordable.
Are the wheels running on a battery?
Yes.
but the idea is incredible, landing and driving around the region. How is the legality of this? No problem with local law?
Check out my video: From Paramotors to Gyromotion. I interviewed in that video an inventor of Street Legal Gyrocopters.
What’s the battery range of the wheel motors?
40km (25 miles).
Please, Can anyone tell me 3:54, the name of the SUV?
The car brand is Opel, but I don’t know the type.

Does this vibration occur all the time?

I've never seen Gmotion Gyro go up hills. Can you overcome hilly roads? Really interesting....

Hy Dear how are you i am from Pakistan
You are much safer in the air than on the road with that. That offers zero impact protection from a car hitting you.
That is true.
neither does a motorcicle and it does not fly!
Big Mac will kill you first not the gyro
McDonald's gives food to Israeli occupation forces.
Good
