First Gyrocopter Lesson AutoGyro Cavalon 915iS Complete Flight at Adventure Air Gyroplanes

Henry, Adventure Air owner and world famous sky diver, takes Tigre up for his first official lesson in an AutoGyro Cavalon gyroplane (aka gyrocopter).
Flying out of Chino airport on a busy day, they head over to Chino Hills to practice climbing and descending turns, slow flight, rudder turns, and other maneuvers before heading back to land.

Very informative. one question. Why is it OK to pull the stick all the way back at takeoff, but not at taxi speed?

I have family in Hildesheim Germany where the Cavalon factory is located, so was lucky enough to fly as a passenger in one of their autogyros. This 915iS in this video is really sweet but for pure fun, their original tandem seating open cockpit model is a pure smile maker. It feels like one is riding a flying motorcycle. What a view! It's about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. 🙂

Really good, interesting variations from fixed wing. Heard myself telling the student to keep the nose up on the turn …some things never change…👍

I used to love flying helicopters out of KCNO, but now living in Idaho. Thinking of going the gyrocopter route.

I just flew with these guys this week. All great people. Thanks to John, Pete, my instructor for the day and Jeremy who puts together these great videos.

This was for me a great introduction. Thank you both for allowing the third party view!

Nice to get a peek at Chino Airfield again. Went to ground school there in my junior year of high school in 1977-78.

Interesting. The quality of sound is remarkable. I fly a Mooney and this is really a change. Thanks.

Flew with Henry about a month ago, first gyro plane flight. They're all a great bunch of guys at Adventure Air. Next time go fly 20A with the Garmin G3X.
