Gyrocopter Ride in St Maarten

During my vacation in St Maarten I went over to the Grand Case airport and took a flight with SXM Gyrocopter. This was my first time taking a flight in a Gyrocopter. I must say it was a experience of a lifetime. For me, I have I have flown a couple thousand hour in open cockpit biplanes and the gyro was entirely different. When you visit St Maarten and you want to explore the island from a birds eye view you should look up SXM Gyrocopter. @

Definitely an amazing piece of machinery and what awesome terrain to fly it in. Those views were spectacular to say the least.

This is pretty awesome!

[@jimknuckey6078]

So on my next trip through Jamestown am I going to see you flying your new gyrocopter. Great video. Love those islands. I have sailed and dived down there.

[@DeweyDavenport]

I nope I don't decide to buy a gyro. They are fun but I don't need another toy. 🤣😂🤣

[@Jwsul1]

Thanks for taking us along, Dewey!

[@DeweyDavenport]

Thanks for going John.

[@chuckbeyer6679]

I took a ride in a Gyro plane in Indiana. It felt like flying naked on a lawn chair.

I'm glad you enjoyed the flight, Dewey, it's something I don't think I would ever do, intentionally. Gyro copters, or Helicopters, I don't get into. It's something to do with rotating parts, that worry me! Specially a Helicopter. I enjoy your posts, and hope you are having fun on your vacation ! (Bob)

Such a BEAUTIFUL beach!!

[@TheTolleRoad]

Awesome! You need to bring one of those to Jamestown. 😆

Thank you, that was nice! I have been to St Maarten a couple times but I never got to see it from the air like that before. We even did a side trip to Pinel island once to do some snorkeling. On our way back from Pinel during a downpour if felt like it took forever to get back by boat but from the air it looked so close. If I am ever lucky enough to visit there again, I would definitely want to do a gyrocopter flight.

The Gyroplane has matured greatly in recent years with the technology now available and this is one such sophisticated machine,Dewey it is good that you are exploring differing doctrines of flight and experiencing things first hand for yourself in this way,St Maaten is a beautiful place and that looks like a decent sized aerodrome,enjoy yourself sir.

[@dallaschandler2843]

a trick : watch movies on flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@graysonruben6970]

@Dallas Chandler definitely, have been using Flixzone} for years myself =)

[@deeanna8448]

That's too open for me! I would ride in an open crockpit biplane, but thus would be too much for me, I think.

You need to put a Pitcairn Autogiro in your hangar. I hear there’s one for sale in Troy

[@ColeAviation]

Cool video bro! There’s a Gyro Club at my airport. My cousin makes upgrade parts for these. Called Peach State Conversion Kit. It’s a Pully upgrade. 👌🏼

[@TheKevinhaeb]

Wow that looks like a lot of fun! Glad to see you flying again on KZbin, Dewey. Did the gyro handle how you expected?

[@mikercflyer7383]

Beautiful place to get a ride. Something you might be thinking of? Or you got enough with what you have.

[@Mikey101160]

Great video Dewey. Just like being there. If you don't already know about him, you want to check out James Ketchell (UK) on his KZbin channel. He went around the world in his gyro not so long ago. :-)

[@karlriley1314]

That must have been the FRECH side not the Dutch side.

[@DeweyDavenport]

Yes, that was on the Dutch side.
