Thank you for watching... In my opinion, gyroplane adventures are the last aviation adventures available to city slickers like myself. The perspective over the land is unique, and you see stuff that others ignore...
I'm not a pilot. Seems like there is a lot of vibration with the stick & would be very tiring to constantly hold it. Gyroplanes do not have a auto pilot I guess?? Wondering why you don't fly like 3000 ft to be safer or are you safer closer to ground??? Enjoy flying with you, you seem to be a good pilot.
Thank you for watching... All rotorcraft deal with more vibrations than fixed wing aircraft, so balancing the rotor is important in an attempt to reduce these vibrations. That being said, my videos are not a good way to judge the level of vibrations, because there are many factors inpacting the visuals. My grip on the stick is fairly loose, so I don't ever remember to feel pain after landing or to experience the dred of going back in the air. I have flown way above 3,000feet AGL when the situation asks for it, but I usually stay around 2,000 feet AGL - high enough to avoid the cropdusters and the radio antenas, and low enough to stay away from teh fast moving airplanes who usually do not expect to encounter slower rotorcradft at their altituded.
Overall miles are hard to calculate, but if you watch the videos from the previous days, you will see the performance numbers at the end of the video. It took me 4 days to fly from Los Angeles to Kenosha, and another 4 days on the way home. This time includes some short weather delays.
Thank you. Sure WI has winters that completely change our scenery but we also have wonderful colorful falls and springs not just near perfect summers. Its better up here than you think to me Cal is too hot, too polluted, too expensive, too crowded, not to mention too dangerous. And the oceans cold at least the lakes in WI warm up in summer for swimming etc.
Nice job capturing the landscape. You might think differently seeing it when the trees have no leaves with snow all over. Southern California is just fine if one can deal with the politics, traffic, and congestion. Be well and happy flying!
Haha... I did not want to say it, but cold winters are not my thing. I would not mind a white Christmas, but I have to be in shorts on the 26th... And we are correct that there is a price we pay for enjoying the best weather... Thank you for watching...
I am not sure what my schedule would be in the summer. I am probably not flying the gyro from California again by myself - it is a lot of work... I am open for flying with a group of gyros, though...
Love your videos. What do you think your average ground speed was after leaving the airport and heading for home? You appear to be travelling faster than the vehicles on the highway below.
Thank you for watching... In cruise mode I am usually traveling at 85-90 knots of indicated air speed. This is way faster than most vehicles on the road. There have been cases when strong headwinds would reduce by ground speed to 60 knots.
@@kloss213 when I received my first gyro, a part of the training included receiving information that I should be very diligent about checking bolt torque during inspections. So, I do that on a regular basis... I have never owned a plane, so I have nothing to compare...
Modern gyroplanes have a pre-rotator designed to connect the engine to the rotor for a limited tine just to bring the rotor speed high enough to sustain autorotation. Before takeoff, the engine is disconencted from the rotor, the rotro gets tilted back and the gyro starts moving forward. The rushing air spins the rotor fester and fster until it spins fast enough to create enough lift for the gyro to takeoff. In flight, the rotor is in constant regime of autorotation. The pilot has no direct influence on the rotor speed... Mother Nature takes care of this just perfectly...
@@paloureiro Please take "typical" with a grain of salt... Typically we talk about 200 RPM of prerotation, typical rotor speeds in flight 340 - 400 RPM. Many factors affect the speed of the rotor - density altitude, rotor size, gyro weight, etc...
I hear you, but in the end of the day we must agre to disagree... Misic is an integral part of the creative process, so it is here to stay. I will make any effort to make it "better"... ;)
if ya never lived there you won't know. it's very under the radar but it lives big there. ya have to be there for a while, not a visit, how do you think those people formed that state? they killed all the tribes there and stole it. As I said if you are a foreigner in any way and you are there, it will find you.@@lagyro that place is the home of Trumpers.Anybody who is different they will let you know quick.LIKE the flying But will never go there. hope that answers your question since it seems you really know nothing about your new home.
Thanks for sharing! Fun to see an unfamiliar part of the country from your gyroplane.

Love the video what a pleasure coming with you on this awesome adventure thank you for the trip
Thank you for the kind words… and thank you for watching…
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
Very nice flight 😊
Thank you for watching…
Excuse-me, i'm brazilian, would like to know, what's miles do you flyed?

@@lagyro i will go watch all your videos. Tanks.
@@lagyroand... Congratulations.
Great flyght enjoyed it .
It was a very relaxed flight once I departed Air Venture... but I have to admit, I was stressing out right before takeoff...
Awesome journey …..
Awesome !

Don't you love the diversity in this country... in climate I mean... ;)

I've enjoyed watching this series...... Are you coming back to Oshkosh this year?
I am not sure what my schedule would be in the summer. I am probably not flying the gyro from California again by myself - it is a lot of work... I am open for flying with a group of gyros, though...
I'm wondering if you will take another path back to LA ?
Stay tuned... those videos are coming soon... ;)

Does the vibration that is visible in the stick cause any fatigue?
Nothing I can report... There has not been a flight that made me be grateful to land so I can rest my arm...
@@lagyro Wondered about that, also any increase in maintenance due to increased vibrations?
@@kloss213 when I received my first gyro, a part of the training included receiving information that I should be very diligent about checking bolt torque during inspections. So, I do that on a regular basis... I have never owned a plane, so I have nothing to compare...
How does the rotor pre-rotate if it`s not powered? During flight does it rotate due to the air flow?
Modern gyroplanes have a pre-rotator designed to connect the engine to the rotor for a limited tine just to bring the rotor speed high enough to sustain autorotation. Before takeoff, the engine is disconencted from the rotor, the rotro gets tilted back and the gyro starts moving forward. The rushing air spins the rotor fester and fster until it spins fast enough to create enough lift for the gyro to takeoff. In flight, the rotor is in constant regime of autorotation. The pilot has no direct influence on the rotor speed... Mother Nature takes care of this just perfectly...
@@lagyro , I undestand, thanks! But in terms of rpm, what are typical values for pre-rotation, take-off and flight?
@@paloureiro Please take "typical" with a grain of salt... Typically we talk about 200 RPM of prerotation, typical rotor speeds in flight 340 - 400 RPM. Many factors affect the speed of the rotor - density altitude, rotor size, gyro weight, etc...
@@lagyro , thank you!
"And spread the gyro gospel to all who would listen" - that's what we do. We can't help it...😁
True... ;)
Really like your video except for your choice of background music which is in the foreground most of the time. Very annoying.
I hear you, but in the end of the day we must agre to disagree... Misic is an integral part of the creative process, so it is here to stay. I will make any effort to make it "better"... ;)
Area was nice But the racists that live there, ya can keep it.
What are you refering to?

I still can't figure out what exact area you are refering to? Wisconsin?
@@lagyro Yes, the whole state, to one degree or another.
@@brucesweatman2146 I will have to disagre with you, but... maybe I am not seeing something you know...
