how good is flying one of these things for STOL/short field adventure flying? I've been looking at getting something like a CH750 STOL so I can go into backcountry strips, but would a gyro like this perform as well as a CH750 or Kitfox? I'm fine with losing some cruise speed, but I'd love to make up for it with the insane short-field I've seen with some of these gyro's.
Most gyros are built for smooth fields and such...You prolly wanna do "back-counrty and gravel bar landings"....w/ Tundra tires....Gyros arent meant for that sorta landing and taking off...You can land, but, you need a good "runnin' start " to get airborne......Stick w/ the Bush plane....
Only "Back-country" vid I found and it aint what you are talkin' 'bout......Also, since most gyros are nose-wheeled mounted, you would have to really "beef-up" that nose wheel strut to take them big rocks and stuff.....And, grros dont have slats and flaps, so..Its all in the rotor for lift and that rotor gota have some seriuos air hitting it to get that lift.... You thoe' the "coals to your bush plane w/ slats and flaps, you off and up in bout 10-15 ft....Gyros need at least 2 to 3 times and if you gota load, well, it can double even that.....Now, a Heli can do all you want, but, thats a whole different animal..and certifications....To get a feel of gyros, watch a few of Gerald's vids...You can gage what they do.....and dont do....
That’s cool do you have any pictures of his place from back then? I’m not sure how event started in Florida but they probably used his name because of his influence on Gyroplanes in general
Excellent for the new designs with horizontal stabilizers, the gyros 25 years ago didn’t seem to use horizontal stabilizers and people were self taught to fly
@GyroGerald >>> At 11:22 in this video: Is that a _Zenith 701/750?_ If I am ever able to build a homebuilt for myself, and it is NOT a gyro, the 701 or 750 is one of the aircraft _on my list...👍👍_ *GREAT VID, GG!!*

Wrong, they're actually the safest form of air travel. They can't stall like a plane, and are in auto rotation unlike a helicopter. You can shut the engine off and easily land. Try that in a Cessna or a Bell helicopter. You'd be in the morgue. I love flying these aircraft.

The new generation of gyrocopters have really come a long way from the early days. But the commercial ones are ridiculously expensive.
Yeah very expensive for the commercial prebuilt type

Yes if the machine is over 250 lbs but if machine is under 250 it is considered an ultralight and you don’t need a license
