First time flying in a gyrocopter!

- My buddy Mark took me for a ride in his Cavalon Gyrocopter for a quick flight around the pattern. I thought I would be more apprehensive but it felt quite safe and stable in the air and on the ground.

Hope you had a blast flying these amazing machines :D
I did!
Hey that's Mark Wilson! He's a great pilot! Did he ever tell you about the impossible turn he did? Miss Blu is a fine flying gyro 😊
Impossible turns is what gyrocopters are designed for
I once got to fly in a McCulloch J-2 when I was in high school. It’s basically the same principle as this gyro but not as advanced. It was a very cool and unforgettable experience.
I just looked it up, very cool
@@trueairspeed130 It definitely was a unique experience to fly in that thing. Very loud from what I remember. It was in the early 80’s so it’s definitely been a while!
Nice! I'm selling my Cessna 172 for a gyro, still researching which one I want. Cavalon is one that is top of my list.
A lot of fun indeed good choice, where are you based?
Could you please tell me why you are replacing the airplane for a gyro? I want to be a gyrocopter pilot and also make videos about them so I am doing extensive research about them.

@@flying_bros Many reasons I do not wish to list.
That's such a fun aircraft!!!
It definitely was
I'll never understand why anyone would want to fly such a monstrosity.
I tried it once and never again.
The damn thing _doesn't want_ to fly!
This one flew quite well :) albeit not very fast compared the an airplane, climbed great, felt like an elevator
