      @@Mmmmericaaaa_USA One guy that also owns a street legal gyroplane took it to his friend’s wedding. I am certain that the gyro did get more attention than the new married couple.😂Thanks for your suggestions, maybe I will try to take it to a ski resort. That would be a really cool thing to do.

    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!

      @@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.

      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.
