Michael Hille my first introduction to a Rotax 915 powered Gyro

[@billmcgarry3300]

Well produced video. Your clear commentary highlighted the flight characteristics really well. Thanks!

[@michaelhille261]

Thanks Bill appreciate it thanks for watching

[@billburkart8527]

I really enjoyed this flight, thank you. 👍👍

[@donc9751]

Thats a beautiful aircraft, looks like amazing fun to fly especially how the rotor tends to dampen turbulence!! I liked and subscribed, want to see more videos like this. I typically watch GA planes etc. Used to fly paragliders in my 30s but that was long ago. Took flying lessons but never soloed, too spendy for my blood but wish i had in retrospect! Thanks for the great video!

[@michaelhille261]

Thanks for the msg Don ,it is definitely a nice aircraft to fly appreciate the subscriber support and remember it’s never too late to finish your dream , you won’t regret it 👍🏻

[@chetmyers7041]

17:25 Can a gyroplane maintain a fixed altitude during turbulence easier than a fixed-wing aircraft? what about comparison of altitude holding between helicopter and gyroplane?

[@michaelhille261]

I would say that this would be similar however I have only once had a go in a helicopter so it’s a tough comparison for me to say .

[@wolfdar2009]

Very Smooth Aircraft.

[@michaelhille261]

yes it’s very nice to fly in

[@BeachBoysRemembered]

Michael, I was wondering if the rotor blade has no power source in the air, where is the power coming from to spin it on the ground before take off?

[@MerlinspopTBH]

His description of the prerotor system starts at 2:30

[@michaelhille261]

They use a Pre rotation system to get the rotor up to speed prior to takeoff

Hi can you tell me please where you bought the top curtain . I have the same plane i wuolld like to buy. Many thanks

[@michaelhille261]

He got it from Airborne NSW [phone]

[@stolaircraftsuyanto9728]

Very cool...

[@michaelhille261]

Yes it was a very cool experience 👍

[@C6Silver]

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing! Really hoping this becomes more prevalent in the US. How bad is that stick shake over time?

[@michaelhille261]

thanks for that , I think it’s something first you need to get use too and then you forget it’s there .

[@marioj.rodriguez3170]

how far can you fly wiht a full tank?

[@michaelhille261]

It burns 25 Litres an hour with 80L tank so 3.2 hrs or roughly 500km

[@dwightmcqueen5771]

What is max ceiling?

[@michaelhille261]

I’m not sure on this one ?

[@johnsweda2999]

How much do they go for second-hand, anything you should look out for What about kit form what's the best kit they come in kit form

[@michaelhille261]

magnigyro.co.za/ www.magnigyro.com They sell from 50 to 150 depending on 912 914 or 915 and obviously the model M16, M22 or M24 etc

[@dwightmcqueen5771]

I would want a 2 seater tho

[@michaelhille261]

yes this is a 2 seater

[@HistoricUlster]

City of Derry has a railway track across the runway.

[@michaelhille261]

So it’s not the only one after all 👍🏻it’s definitely strange to see

[@madmanmechanic8847]

Can you order a trap door to take a dump in flight? Taco Tuesdays are a bitch

[@michaelhille261]

I’m sure anything is possible 😜

[@EdwardTilley]

Why choose a gyro over a helicopter? The fuel cost is 4 or 5 times higher than a faster light sport plane and not much less than fuel than a small helicopter - by my eyes.

[@michaelhille261]

Good question. To be honest I’m not entirely sure Maint cost are definitely lower than a factory helicopter but I think it’s just one of those things people like.

[@itsahzthing3433]

Sweeeeeeet

[@chetmyers7041]

Lovely countryside. Where is this? Can you introduce me to a woman who can make an overnight trip subject to the "baggage" limits of this aircraft? Please send name, phone number, and photo of her boat.

[@dwightmcqueen5771]

Oh this is 2 seater

[@chetmyers7041]

Looks like great fun to fly, but not much baggage capacity. Notice the two tiny his/her travel bags. Room for wallet, toothpaste, change of underwear and thin shirt. What lady could travel this light for overnight trip?

[@LFOD7491]

Audio is worthless.
