Anyone Gyrated yet?

A place for 'real world' pilots and aviation enthusiasts to discuss their hobby

This looks like a bit of a buzz -- I'd love to hear from someone who has been in one of these gyrocopters at Tauranga. Only $95 for a scenic flight or take control for $135 -- sounds like a bargain.

I'd be quite keen to give it a go, if just for the novelty value.

ive done a couple of hours in a gyrocopter, they vibrate lots..... maybe it was just the one i was in tho, and they dont go very fast, cruised about 65mph.
great short field, but need longer to get airbourne.

Looks cool - didn't know you could do this right here in Tauranga - not sure whether I am willing to give it a go - maybe the enclosed one. Whats a good Gyrocopter add on for flight sim?? - is there one?
