Nice to take them in the mountains to ski.A great option to bug out when the time comes.I like the water option too.Safer then a plane.Even during a e m p situation you just glide down.
@@Tinker1950 thanks for the reply. I do wonder what stopped them in the end. I read something saying that they only sold 40 units so maybe that was it? I wonder if the plans could be bought and made by another company?
That very thought went through my mind. They produced what was probably the best and well equipped gyrocopter in the world. They also produced some excellent promotional videos, but I suspect it all came down to price. Inevitably they were expensive and whereas a light aircraft can have great practicality, gyrocopters are still effectively toys for the well off. For the price of an Arrowcopter you could instead buy a very nice and much more functional GA aircraft. But always nagging at the back of my mind is the thought that perhaps someone could buy the company assets and ex-employees, thus avoiding all the liabilities and depts of the original company, get into promotion and production and sell at a much more competitive price. If only I had a spare million...
@@Tinker1950 exactly what i thought as well. Yeah your completely right about the cost verse a more practicle light aircraft. I think that if a company thats already established in the gyro scene or perhaps makes other types of light aircraft were to take it on they could offset the low sales for a while whilst it picks up. Not going to lie, the arrow copter makes me want to get my ppl(a) in the uk. They look fun and more professional than the 'bob in the shed' type of kits.
sorry if I sound too rude, buut why do these cost so much? how do they cost more than a car, in the end its just an engine and two chairs, with a metal frame contained by a fiberglass body.
+David Ayarra Hi David, please check the following links: arrow-copter.com/production/ You will find out that the ArrowCopter is exactly the opposite of what you describe.
1. in the aviation world 100k dollars, euros is cheap 2. small series=high price 3. now that we have drones no one really needs these, and you can ask much for a sexy toy 4. you can buy it much cheaper in a kit i guess
YA ES HORA DQ! LOS AUTOGIROS, se produzcan eléctricos y de 4 pasajeros, creo Q! nos hemos demorado en hacerlos, son muy comerciales, prácticos y la agroindustria los necesita urgentemente; estoy dispuesto a comprar uno, tambien creo Q! serán más económicos y fáciles de hacerlos!! UPA PUES HABER QUIEN ES EL 1° EN HACERLO?! ustedes Bolivianos, Argentinos Brasileños, Mexicanos quien ?? pues haber!
Wow! Did an adult review this video prior to release? How about some real noises instead of pitiful intrusive music? We came here to learn and be educated. Best of luck, but you might want to ponder a different format. Your machine appears very impressive.

Der Ferrari unter den Tragschraubern !!!
Qual a autonomia de vôo, a quantos pés e velocidade média?

Are arrowcopter still going? The aircraft look absolutely gorgeous and i love seeing three of em flying together like that. Awesome.
I'm afraid not.
They no longer trade. A great pity but I've no idea what their problems were.

David Ayarra lol @ assuming only material determines cost.

Zsolt Papp What on earth has this gyro anything to do with drones? By the way I wish I had one, an arrowcopter that is.
I think you told so. And that's a high cost raw material
How. Much. Training. To. Fly
kinda like saying a Ferrari is just a small plastic sports car.
Good thing there is a mute button. I dont get the music either - too much time on their hands
