AutoGyro Cavalon interior takeoff and land with additional weight

[@jimmyjones8311]

Learning for the trips to Colombia?

[@WhiskeyB]

I use additional weight in my Cavalon when flying solo but I put it in the passenger seat. By placing it on the floor, you’re making it nose heavy. Just a thought.

[@kukolarik1]

If I placed on the floor 25kg,yes,nose heavy, so use more trim and that makes feeling, like there is 60kg passanger on the seat...

[@WhiskeyB]

@@kukolarik1 I tried placing my 45 lgs weight on the floor instead of the seat and it does work better to simulate a passenger. Thanks for the tip.

[@kukolarik1]

@@WhiskeyB and also seem to safely on the floor as on thr seat. Great to hear! Whish you a nice flight everyday!

Nice movie! Very well done!

[@kukolarik1]

Thank you!

[@Aviator168]

I saw the nose dipped when you applied power during the last landing. Isn't the thrust line a little high on this gyro?

[@kukolarik1]

it was my fault, cause I was not enough gentle with thrust ;)

[@Aviator168]

@@kukolarik1 Please do me a favor. Don't do that again. Especially when flying slow, like during an approach.

Good job!

@Jaylen Mauricio I read somewhere it’s not a safe site. 🤷‍♂️. I haven’t used it at all yet

[@rkwill100]

suggest getting more training on takeoffs and landings

What’s the booted switch on the dash?

[@kukolarik1]

BOOST (additional turbo)

[@DB-thats-me]

So.....You are not over the MAUW, you are just adding ballast? I see others have mentioned CoG so I’ll pass. Interested to see flight characteristics when over loaded.

[@kukolarik1]

Yeah, there was problem with landing, was too long flare, but this helps much, even in air is more better. In Cavalon is minimum 60kg, but seems much better, when there is 80kg.

You should eat more pasta and drink more beer ;) Nice video!

[@kukolarik1]

working on it last 10-15 years, nothing helps me... so need to carry this kind of "passanger" on board

[@charliesadv8493]

I have the same keyring as you 😄

[@vancebreeseCFI]

In my opinion you are over controlling near the touch down on your landings. I find value in looking as far down the runway as I can see during the round out and flare.

[@kukolarik1]

over controlling = out of control / too much control?

200 rpm

My name is Francis osorio from manila, Philippines. I believe this gyrocopter can be very useful in the Philippines to serve as: crop sprayer, ambulance, personal transport , police and military surveillance and patrol,etc. Since we are not a rich country, the price is a major concern: How much: Bare and open gyrocopter for crop spraying 6seater gyrocopter for personnel transport in mining companies, plantations,etc. 3-seater gyrocopter for police or military use in patrol, surveillance operations,etc. Can we buy second hand gyrocopter and buy the spare parts and repair in the Philippines! I know Hildesheim. I used to have a cooperation with one reparatur werkshop in Bennigsen. We buy second hand woodworking machines and repair in Bennigsen. I can begin in the same way for gyrocopter
