Very nice design, it looks very sleek and dynamic. I wonder about the agility and speed and general specs? Congrats! And see you maybe at AERO Friedrichshafen.
The general characteristics according to the POH are fairly standard. From experience i can tell you that a cruise speed of 100 knots is almost natural to this machine. Fuel burn is around 5 to 5.5 gallons per hour. Climb rate is close to 1,500 feet per minute. Visibility is unmatched… If you have any specific questions, let me know…
If you are below 220 lbs. you have nothing to worry about. After that there are different factors to consider other than just weight - height, belly width, mobility, etc.
You’re correct, but i had to make sure i am 100% comfortable with it… and while the demo flights were going on, i was actively talking to potential customers who had questions…

I would recommend a visit to Bensen Days next year… it is a great gathering of people who really love gyroplanes.
Are you selling the Bumblebee at LA Gyro? What is the basic price?
Bumblebee is not for sale… yet… but i can help you get one exactly like it. The price is $147k, and Niki offers a$5k discount during the air expos…
What is the max allowable weight for single pilot?

Shame you did not show it in flight.
