Touch-and Go's at Camarillo Airport (KCMA) - a test flight of a Kallithea gyroplane in the USA...

- As part of Phase 1 flying for my brand new amateur-built experimental Kallithea gyroplane, I am doing a series of touch-and-go's at Camarillo Airport (KCMA). Today the weather is fantastic, although there is a cross wind at almost 80 degrees to the runway, but its velocity of 6 to 8 knots is not enough to ruin the flight. In tact the traffic pattern was very busy at the time of my test flight.
The previous two test flights, few days earlier, were done under horrendous wind conditions. When I think about it, I am not even sure why I attempted those flights - I guess I had a lot of fate of the gyroplane's capability. I fairness, the machine performed extremely well, but I am too new in the process of familiarization to risk it in such condition.
In any case, enjoy the video, and please give us a thumbs-up if you liked it... Subscribing to the channel will convince us there are people who enjoy what we produce.

Looks good !!
Man, the view from the cockpit is outstanding!
Yes, sir… it is a well designed cockpit…
Looks like a nice machine! Has there been any certified in Canada yet?
The Kallithea is certified in Germany, but at this time the plan is to have import it to the US as amateur built from kit. If a Canadian buyer comes along i will try to help as much as i can. Hopefully in couple of years when the regs change, we can certify it easily. She is an amazing aircraft…
where does the pilot sit and where is the instructor during training ? RF
😃
After an hour or so of introductory training, the student sits in the front seat, and the instructor goes in the back
i am asking because in a open cockpit when i was behindwith no goggles i. couild not see a thing, RF
Open cockpit flying with the wrong headset could be very uncomfortable... What type of gyro was it?
