Congratulations! Have fun with the gyro; they look like they'd be a real hoot to fly..

Re: New Sport Pilot
Gyros are scary - they lack wings or rather the lift device is not very obvious

Re: New Sport Pilot
Congrats on the sport pilot rating.....let me know when you make it to ZPH, that's where I keep my SportCruiser. The gyro guys there always look like they are having fun, but it's not my cup of tea. Warmi is right, those things scare me too.JJ Campbell wrote:I got my Sport Pilot ticket today. Off to Zephyrhills as soon as possible for my gyro endorsement!
There's always 1........or 5 in the pattern at any given time.

We have a few gyros at our airport as well.... my wife calls them “MadMax people” ...

Yes, I flew a helicopter, no a gyrocopter. Those things defy all reason.Warmi wrote:I thought you used fly a home made chopper or something along these lines

Actually . . they don't really fly . . . they just beat the earth into submission.ShawnM wrote:Yes, I flew a helicopter, no a gyrocopter. Those things defy all reason.Warmi wrote:I thought you used fly a home made chopper or something along these lines

It's worse than that, Bill. They defy the laws of physics, when they apply inordinate amounts of power, and somehow manage to lift off. By rights, they should be screwing themselves into the ground!Wm.Ince wrote:Actually . . they don't really fly . . . they just beat the earth into submission.
