Nice! I've heard of the Fairey Rotodyne, but I didn't know there were an autogyros that were produced. Although it's obviously quite small compared to the Rotodyne, it looks so sleek and comfortable! Great video!
Nice video guys, I'm also a fixed wing and Gyro pilot based in the North. Always great to see a new audience being introduced to these amazing and exciting machines.
@@ginclearaviationThanks for your reply. I've flown nearly every Microlight approved in the UK and owned a couple including a C42. Now fly an AutoGyro MTO Sport 2017, great aircraft combining the stability and speed of the Cavalon with very sporty flying characteristics, open cockpit equals great sensations too.
Ever since the Biplane version landed at the White House in mid thirties, and well viewed on film, I've always wanted one. I tried hard over the years to find one similar, but apparently they don't exist. Just Italian versions seen lately, and this one. I forget the cost, but it's extreme, maybe upwards of 80K. A private club would be best option and be dual seat. Multi blade 3_5 would be perfect. Cheers - I'll edit after viewing
WOW Such an Nice Light bird in sky wonder so nimble turns on an Dime crazy approaches an angles just drop right in ...why the rotor cant be powered for vertical Take off & landings ..well landing can be almost chopper like ..I so wont to go up / train / get certificated & purchase an single Seat
Does the Rotor get motor power? is that normal, I( thought it was just forward motion that started the rotation, what happens if the engine fails, can you auto rotate from a certain height with success?
The rotor only uses engine power for pre rotor before the take off run. Just before the pre take off run the pre rotor is disengaged and the wind does the rest! As described in the video. The rotor is constantly in auto rotation, so if the engine fails the autogyro 'glides' under auto rotation.
@@ginclearaviation What then are your chances of survival, what then supplys anything to effect some sort of flight?surely that blade is insufficient to provide a 'Parachute " effect.
Second hand Cavalon's seem to go for around £80,000 / $100,000. Prices for new ones would be on the Cavalon web site. As always, depends on age and spec. Are you going to buy one?
Best system for any engine, even my new 71' 750 Honda was dry sump design. Automatically provides oil cooling during constant process returning oil to 5 quart tank. All the best racing engines use dry sump. A bit surprised in video memo, no detailed inforrmation was provided. Gear Heads need this stuff. Now forced to track down Mfg for details. I spent twenty years restoring crashed WWII aircraft, last one flew to Oshkosh - B-29. Complete makeover better than new. Featured front page Mpls Tribune Sunday paper mid eighties. Cheers
Dear @MevRB19, there was no green screen use in this video, so I'm not quite sure what you allude to? I wish you success in your own future productions.
He probably noticed that resolution started at 144 vs 750, and I had to force it there. First time in tweny years ever noticed below 240. Weak WiFi probably auto selected version. Cheers
Nice demonstration guys. I’m a fixed wing pilot in the US. I’ve always wondered how these things work.
Me too. It was great to have the basics explained and demonstrated.
me too he ecplained well

Thanks Jason. Which airfield are you based at? Which Gyro and Planes do you fly?

Cavalon and Calidus are very nice machines. This video is a great introduction.
Thank you very much!
awesome video hello from Australia
Hey, thanks!
Cool video. That's a really impressive machine
It really is!

Go to your local airfield and get training! It will change your life.
Got a couple of autogyros operating out the strip I fly out off. I am not convinced by their performance compared to fixed wing
nice video
Thanks
how does the rotorspeed up work
I wonder how often you need to change that teeter bolt & nut? Nice video thanks!
Many thanks. I'll try and find the answer to your question.

Very cool looking autogyro - do they make a four-seater? I understand these are much cheaper to operate than helicopters.
As far as I know there is not yet a GA four seat version. Definitely cheaper to run that a helicopter!
nice looking machine pity i am not flying anymore♿️♿️♿️
An old BMW airhead motorcycle called and they want their old Bing carb back.
Price?

This guy is obviously not knowing how a drysump engine works ..😮😮😮..he did not check the oil level right.
