    Join me on the most amazing flight I’ve ever had. This is what gyroplane flying is all about, and the flight was unforgettable. We flew low over the Econlockhatchee and St. Johns Rivers. This is really FLORIDA FLYING!

    In my youth, more than 55 year's ago; While in my early 20's. I built, learned to fly, what was then referred to as a Gyro-Copter. I put more than a couple of hundred hour's in that old converted from a go-cart, an old raggedy Brigg's and Stranton lawn mower engine. Ahhhh, the summer of 69. While other youth's my age were busy with the Drug's, Sex, Rock and Roll, I had my gyro- copter.

    I would love to go see Gyro Joe... Just to give him a hearty handshake and thank him for taking you on this adventure
    I appreciate you sharing this with us
    "Out of Africa" was one of my favorite movies of all time and I really appreciate the reference in the beginning of this video

      @JayDee-xj9lu 2 года назад

      I've done both a while ago and I'm not sure which one I would like to do again. Gyros are so much faster and easier to take of and can handle winds, but glide like a brick with engine off. PPG are safe and slow I guess, cheaper and easier to put into the back of your car.

    Terrific! I’m considering getting one. Out in the open is great but I think I want a little more fuselage around me. From what I’ve read, they are very safe but have a high crash/death history due to the fact they’re so maneuverable it makes cowboying them hard to resist. 😉
