Hey everyone! Thanks for watching! We really appreciate all your support and comments! If you could help us out with the RUclips analytics and like and share this video, we'd really appreciate it!
WELL DONE Henry! As an ex-Pat living in Germany as an "Ultralight" Gyro Instructor on MTO Sport and Calidus, I find your videos EXCEPTIONAL! Flew solo today in an MTO Sport for proficiency in Bavaria with an OAT of -2 degrees Celsius, blue skies and sunshine. Count me as another subscriber, Brother! THANKS for your content.
Hello Henry, I met you a couple of years ago up north at an Auto-Gyro class. I have about 275 hours under my belt now on the Cav 915. I thought your video was very well done and is a fine contribution to your fellow pilots/students. The only two things I would add would be to advise students to 1) read the POH all the way through and become very familiar with i, and 2) to take the POH cautionary advice of flying unbalanced without left seat weight seriously. Flying without a 2nd person or additional seat weight on the passenger side requires additional skills and awareness. The unbalanced Cavalon, in my experience, when adding power too quickly on takeoff can dramatically unstable the Cavalon with left yaw and right roll AND left yaw on landing when lifting the nose in certain circumstances.
Thanks for watching! When we are doing actual flight training, we adhere to a structured lesson plan that incorporates reading the POH as well as other material. This video was made for the prospective student pilot or rated pilot who is interested in mentally practicing the basic procedures to help lighten task saturation. These videos DO NOT replace actual instruction and are not to be considered a replacement.
Things I’d like to see (if you haven’t already done a video of these): Emergency landing procedures, power off landing (auto rotate ?) - glide rate ?, turns (clearing, fig 8, banking, coordinated, etc), max bank angle (or at least what is acceptable and what is dangerous). Basically the acceptable limitations of the aircraft under normal operation. How stabel things are when balanced. Let’s geek out on this stuff!! ;-). Love your calm demeanour and way of explaining things. I’m looking forward to the next set of videos!!
I will be visiting your area to check out the Gyros. I live in NE Mississippi and I've been wanting one for over 15 yrs. Its definitely time now. I'm 56 and ready to fly now.😎
Thank you for such detailed explanations in this video. I've had my SEL license for 25 years and I'm in the process of getting my gyro sign-off. I always enjoy hearing and seeing how others manage their cockpits and procedures. As pilots we should always challenge ourselves to keep learning and refining our skills, and this video certainly did that for me. Thanks for being an aviation and gyro ambassador😄
Excellent video with clear instructions, emphasising the need for all the checks before take off. Keep up the good work ( I’m An 84 year old Scotsman with microlight experience)
Nice Job! I’m a fixed wing guy, who has always been interested in flying gyros. Your videos here have convinced me that you are the right place to go for training. Two observations about this video. No explanation about setting your altimeter by ATIS. I assume like most experienced pilots you set altimeter to field elevation earlier on. Next, it scared me to hear that if you pull the stick without pre-rotating the rotor it will cause a prop strike. Yikes! I’m imagining how easy it would be for an uninformed passenger to intentionally or unintentionally pull the stick. Part of the preflight briefing I suppose? I’m confident you know exactly what you’re doing, so those two observations are more about the video presentation than your procedures. Like I said earlier, your videos are very well done, I’m planning to visit you in person at my earliest opportunity.
Yes, for brevity we exclude certain procedures to keep continuity and flow. Also, we always have a preflight briefing with new passengers/students and they understand the process and when control of the aircraft is given to them. Thanks for watching and we hope to see you soon!
That was a great explanation of the pre flgiht - prior to flight check list. I am so fascinated by Gyros. Can't afford to get one or even pay for flgiht classes.
Hey folks! Congratulations to this wonderful Gyroplane real world info video - it's as much fun as it is informative! Henry, you're best flight instructor ever 😊 Could you Film a video in the same wonderful way dealing with Gyroplane ops in windy conditions especially mountain flying tips how to deal with adverse weather conditions for example updrafts and downdrafts, precautions etc., please? Love your calm voice in fun lesson style and enjoyment of flighttime at the same time - best advertising for the sport flying hobby ever!
Good procedure video. I think everyone even remotely interested in learning to fly should spend some time in a gyrocopter. Very maneuverable and safe ))
My new pipe dream. I have been flying paramotors for 8 years there's no freer way of flying more seat of your pants type flying than a paramotor. That being said I've had an eye on these gyro planes for quite a while. Shure would take cross country flying to a whole another level just a bit above my income level . But enjoy watching your videos maybe one day but at 63 those days are running out
That bird is a far cry from an old Benson. Nice ride you have there! Just found your channel. I know a couple of guys that bought gyro kits back in the 60’s and built them. Then proceeded to teach themselves how to fly. Although the gyros had limited lives the tubing was used for various projects that lasted years. Both self taught pilots died a few years ago of natural causes. The good Lord looks after dumb people was one of guys mantra. 😂
Great video, thank you.. Recently I took a flight course with Cessna 152 and even it was great, it was a bumpy. My instructor said, it was very normal and the weather was perfect, for me it was uneasy. It was like a big plane in turbulance if it makes sense. I read in some forums that gyros are way more smooth compared to fixed wings due to autorotation. Could you please share your opinion? I am planning to take a discovery flight and I am trying to understand what to expect.
Henry that was a great video. I have become interested in flying once again. Back in the 80s I worked for an Ultralite dealer in the High Desert (Apple Valley). I taught the basic ground school class, prepped planes for rentals, and helped build and refurbish aircraft. I probably (lost my flight log) had between 200 and 300 hours flying several different aircraft but never in a gyro. Gryos always intrigued me for their simplicity, ease of flying, and maintenance. I haven't flown in a long time but I'd always planned to continue on and get my pilot license but never did. I plan on making it a point to come down and visit your facility in Chino soon. I have a ton of questions. Hopefully, I will see you soon. BTW I've watched all of your videos.
Hi Henry love the videos hopefully soon I’ll be in the seat next to you. I have a question I imagine by design the rotor will not hit the prop in flight. What pilot error could or would cause the rotor to contact the prop during flight?
I bought an Air Command “low rider” with a 503 Rotax, dual carbs two sets of Sky wheels (one new in the box with a hub bar), a complete new rotor head as a spare also. I added two new gauges EGT/CHT and had a buddy laser cut a new instrument panel so I could clean up the panel and add the gauges. My buddy also made a CNC bracket for my pre rotator cable and designed and cut with a CNC a new brake pedal that is genius level. I’ve not flown it yet because I have time only in fixed wing AC. I’m going to take lessons first, it’s the smartest and safest route to flying to gyros.
That was very informative Henry. Just curious, how many hours before you have to replace the gear box? Does making sure the blades are true and balanced extend the gear box life? I really enjoyed this one. Thank you.
AutoGyro recommends gearbox inspection every 600 hours. Making sure the prop blades are balanced will definitely reduce the vibration.. one of the main reasons we warm up the engine at 2000 RPM is to reduce the vibration to the gearbox. Anything below that, vibration is definitely noticeable.
Very informative, thank you. At 19:50 you "pull back on the stick slightly, and climb out". Doesn't pulling back increase drag, slow you down and move the vector of lift to slightly behind you rather than directly above you? Even though the pull back is slight, wouldn't it hinder rather than help climb out?
Just saw the video and have questions. 1-what is the weight capacity to get the certificate for it. 2-How long can one of tbbem fly on one tank of gas gojng from gliding to motor and back.3- What meds disqualifies you from getting the certificate.
I’d like to get my add on for a gyro, I have my fixed wing and have been working on my helicopter ticket with 40 hours in a Bell 47. I’m sure I wouldn’t have any trouble getting used to flying a gyro.
At what point after takeoff can you turn off the tower chatter to start conversing with your passengers? I also noticed you didn't request to land, or did I miss that?
New subscriber here Henry. Love the video I almost feel like I could go out and fly it maybe you could do a video of the outside and show the Dynamics of that. I would love to know the specs, AirSpeed weight capacity etcetera.
Great videos; thanks for posting them! 2 questions: what's the max range of a gyroplane? I'm looking for something with a 300-500 mile range I can fly with no/minimal requirements. Can I fly a gyroplane (or other aircraft if no) from Colorado to Wyoming and land on rural land? With owner permission, of course. Thanks!
Can I log the full 27:33 or just the flight time and when will you fly me out to sign it? Actually if you fly out here (KC) Ill fly it back. Scenic though not direct. 🌎 😉
Shawn Rhymes. This is the 2nd video of yours that I've watched. I'd love to learn more about the mechanics of the gyro planes and how to fly, but I can't afford at this point in time. Question, can a person use a gyro plane for transportation or are they limited to 1 airport? Thanks for the video I've enjoyed it.
You can absolutely use them for transportation. You can fly through all D, C, B airspace and land at most airports.. some Bravo class may not like you to because of the way they operate so you need to call ahead, but gyroplanes are legitimate aircraft.
What does going into flight mode mean? I really enjoyed your video, very informative. Henry do you know of any gyros that have a retractable landing gear and do you think that would help with the aerodynamics of the gyros?
It has to do with the rotor brake. There is brake mode and flight mode. The rotor is kept in brake mode so it doesn't rotate while taxiing and when not ready for flight.
@@JeremyBechtold , I know I haven’t seen any either. Maybe in the future when gyros become more popular. I want one so badly but…. $$$. Thanks for your reply.
Thanks for doing this. It was very educational and fun to see what’s involved. Damn it looks like fun flying a gyroplane. I gather that you can learn to fly one by getting a Sports License. Is that correct ?
i would like to know what the least expensive (kit or not) gyroplane is. i do not care about a canopy if that makes any difference, and solo seat is fine. i love riding my motorcycle with no windshield. the air blasting into my face and chest is half the fun.
@@AdventureAir Why would you be filming yourself talking at a camera, unless you are looking at that camera? It's a very weird camera angle. When you are looking at a camera while talking, it looks like you are talking to me. When you are filming yourself talking to another person, it looks like you are talking to another person. When you are filming yourself talking at another camera, it just looks weird.
@@AdventureAir Me running? Minimum acceptable flying speed would have to be at least 150mph in order for me to be remotely interested. And it would have to have jump capabilities.
+@sentient_onion the gyro's tail number is N378WX or tree seven eight whiskey x-ray. Information Yankee is the current weather conditions at the airport.. they start at A-alpha and go all the way to Z-zebra throughout the day and start over if needed.
1). WHY DOESN'T THE GYRON HAVE 4 BLADES IN THE ROTOR? 2). DOES IT BECOME TOO HEAVY, CAN'T MOTRON TAKE IT, OR WHY, DOES IT THINK IT WILL BECOME SAFER? 3). DON'T WANT A TEACHER, WHO JOKES AND LAUGHES ALL THE TIME, WANT IT TO BE QUIET, NO CATERPILLAR!

very nice, I understand more now. trying to decide between gyro and fixed wing.
Why does the pilot in command always sit on the right in a gyroplane but always on the left in a fixed wing aircraft? Thanks for the videos!
Good procedure video.
I think everyone even remotely interested in learning to fly should spend some time in a gyrocopter. Very maneuverable and safe ))
how well do these do in MOUNTAIN AIR ??? (ex. blue ridge mtns )
Fantastic! Exactly the video I've been waiting to see. Future gyro pilot manifestation visualization enhancer.

Qual valor de uma maqui a dessa e onde comprar.
I like that gyroplane, what license if any do I need to fly that ?
In the USA, all that's required is a light sport -gyroplane certificate.
Thanks for doing this. It was very educational and fun to see what’s involved. Damn it looks like fun flying a gyroplane. I gather that you can learn to fly one by getting a Sports License. Is that correct ?
Yes. All you need is a LSA-gyroplane certificate to get started. FAA requires 20 hours minimum.
What function do the pedals have, and how and when do you "trim" ? Really enjoying you ! (Toronto, Canada)
Seen many air shows at that airport.
Interesting stuff. Thanks a lot.

It all depends on what manufacturer you're looking at. AutoGyro offers the MTO at about 80k. Other brands may be less.
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
Nice simple tutorial. Too bad videos cant give you the 'feel' of the flight. Im sure it would be wonderful. Thanks for posting this.

Do the control shaking is normal on gyro ?
What causing it ?
Thanks 😊
It is normal to have some stick shake. It's a result of minor imbalance on the rotor.
My father flew hellcats in ww2. Are there any of those there?
There might be. They move planes around all the time that are donated for display from other owners. They had Tom Cruise's P51 there not too long ago.

get a pilots license first
