My AutoGyro Calidus - first flight

Endlich durfte ich meinen nagelneuen Calidus in Empfang nehmen :-))
Ein kurzer Probeflug in EDVM war möglich, der Heimflug nach Riedlingen auf Grund des miesen Wetters allerdings leider nicht.
Aber wir hatten voraus gedacht und gleich einen Anhänger mitgenommen.

[@xgi36]

Great video , Thanks for the ride.

[@NickLukefahr]

Autogyros are one of the coolest flying machines :)

[@MrDenniski]

OMG! 12:18 That is a very rare piece of automotive engineering! a Vauxhall Nova that hasn't turned into a pile of oxidized steel powder.

[@aguaman2010]

Can’t wait to fly one!

[@gmatty2975]

Enjoyed the video.........thanks for sharing. ;0)

[@lakecrab]

Definitely has the cool factor going.

[@kaupke]

looks great

[@BEVRC]

Very nice, I plan to get one after I get the license.

[@billysexton]

Very cool !!!

[@jeanpoolarrateamedina29]

q chevere es muy interesante y asobroso

[@crashsitetube]

Wish you'd shown more of the 'interesting' (to me) stuff. Preflight, engine start, rotor spin-up (if there was one), start of tkeoff roll and landings (which were behind the trees).

[@MyGarageBuild]

Very Cool

[@MonacoBlast]

Totally Cool!!!

[@znoop72]

Awsome machine! Was this a kit? How much did this cost you if i may ask?

[@casaamaril]

Schön Wolfgang, macht bestimmt viel spass. Und was braucht man für einen Flugschein für den Autogyro, PPL? Hubschraubererfahrung?

[@romantic340]

Nice.

[@IchibanMoto]

awesome ! I want to build one !

[@seikibrian8641]

If you can afford it, you can spend a week or two at a dealer and they'll set you up with a kit and technical assistance (you and a friend can assemble it in about 80 man-hours), and they'll teach you to fly it and get you endorsed for solo. See, for example: glasscockpitaviation.com/GlassCockpit/MainPages/AutoGyro.html

[@Rim13100]

Отлично!

[@mms123xv5]

Muito bonito este girocóptero.

[@dmimcg]

Very cool.

[@karinsmatze]

Das war in Hildesheim? Ich sehe die oft bei uns um die Marienburg kreisen

[@gilpison]

warum dann Transport auf dem Hänger statt fliegen? (ich bin kein Flieger, deshalb die dummen Fragen ;-) bin aber begeistert von dem Gerät

[@kaupke]

it ok thank you

[@pavelavietor1]

hello nice job God speed

[@the10thleper]

I knew closing the canopy as soon as you get in was a bad idea. Same thing as getting in your car on a cold day without circulating air. The glass fogs up! Are these instrument rated? IFR capable?

[@sammilbauer9252]

At least in the states, gyro planes must be flown vfr

[@the10thleper]

@@sammilbauer9252 thank you, I'm impressed with these new models.

[@aldo1629]

GOOD INVENTION TO REALISE ..... WHY NOT ? SMART WAY TO GET AWAY RIGHT !! EXPERIMENTAL SUCCESS SO FAR !!!

[@mozkitolife5437]

It takes off at 4:45

[@chinahobby2178]

Good..... yes,,,,

[@TSmt03]

Danke :-) Nein, man braucht einen UL-Schein mit Tragschrauberberechtigung. Ist auch nicht schwerer zu erlangen, als ein UL-Schein für "normale" Flächenflugzeuge.

[@zawaa55]

素晴らしいザイロです。

[@herenkapsalon]

4:59 to skip the talking eating shitting part and go to the fly part of the video

[@UltimatePwnageNL]

ok, thanks.

[@UltimatePwnageNL]

can you land an autogyro vertically or would it drop too fast?

[@davidsherburne8429]

Yup yep uh huh that's it. Next.

[@TSmt03]

...es gibt keine dummen Fragen, nur dumme Antworten ;-) Weil man zu Fliegen auch etwas sehen sollte und da an dem Tag die Wolken so tief (800 ft GND) hingen, dass an eine sichere Durchführung des Fluges nicht zu denken war. Es liegen auf der Strecke nach Süddeutschland einige Mittelgebirge dazwischen...

[@AndrewK1975]

Ich wohne in Ampfing. Da gibt ein klein Flughafen auch. Ich mag Gyrocopter und will gerne einen kaufen. Was kostet ein Calidus?

[@TTTitusss]

I want one!! Ich will eins, Ich will eins!!

[@angelaeinfach]

Ohh.. Ich würde auch gerne fliegen :(

[@MrJonsound]

which engine does it use?

[@cheleni1]

i hope his pilot checks are better than his boot lace ones :)

[@timoa9581]

Oh echt?? Hab ich nicht mitbekommen.. danke ;D Dann überleg ich mir des nochmal ob ich nicht doch mit unserer Fk9 anfangen soll.. :D

[@AKAtheA]

Only time when they would do any good is while taking off or (normal) landing, if there was a crash, the internal injuries from the G-forces would kill you anyway :P

[@Electron206]

Nice craft and excellent piloting, but the first 4 minutes of video could have been cut.

[@TSmt03]

Nein, keinen PPL, sondern einen SPL (UL-Schein) mit Tragschrauberberechtigung.

[@emigdiomastachi568]

SERIA MUY BUENA IDEA SI LO PUEDEN PRODUCIR EN MEXICO/QUERETARO , ASOCIADOS CON UNA EMPRESA MEXICANA , PARA VENDERLO EN EL MERCADO AMERICANO

[@therealcapecodbob]

What's a setup like that cost?

[@TSmt03]

@gilpison warum sollte der nicht bei Regen fliegen können? Tut er doch, wie man sieht....

[@TSmt03]

Unfortunately not enough space to wear helmets inside the Calidus...

[@sailrjim]

Whoever said this is fake is an idiot! I have three radio control model autogyros. This sweet bird would make a great subject for an r/c model. Now if only I could find the plans! Haha.

[@achin420]

HOW MUCH ITS COST BUDDY?

[@TheAgitator50]

The tires looked like they were low on air

[@TheGratziani]

No navigation lights?..

[@calebstarnes5]

I want one. Damnit im not Tony Stark.

[@eraser0815]

kann ich dir nicht genau sagen aber ich glaube ab 70.000 je nach austattung

[@VictorSeedorsky]

is this german production..? For sure the strangest looking thing that fly at the moment in the World wide..

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

Advance to 3:15

[@deullist]

Fly swatter?

[@JustaPilot1]

And why on earth do you believe this is fake? Or have you never seen a gyro copter before. I mean...they've only been around since the 1920s.

[@gilpison]

warum kann der nicht bei Regen fliegen?

[@TheRealHusk]

for 20 seconds its 20,000 USD

[@Mykola40]

From my point of view the point of view of cameraman was not very good.

[@Hoverbot1TV]

No helmets? daring.

[@TSmt03]

Da liegst Du falsch. UL (SPL) bleibt national und damit UL :-)

[@timoa9581]

Ist doch eh bald alles LAPL

[@zawaa55]

お値段はいかほどですか？

[@daboom73]

you may wanna do some research before you call something fake. Maybe youtube some auto copter videos I have heard they have thousands of videos of them O.o

[@1mrfunnyguy1]

How is my name fake-er than yours, or most people on youtube... And btw fellows, i was being an ass, i wasnt serious, XD... I heard of these by a friend, i know they are real...

[@chriss194]

such weird guys

[@solzbest]

Are you colour-blind?

[@DeadPatriot89]

Hello, help me please!! wanted to build a helicopter similar to yours but the truth is not like, could you help me? if you agree (hopefully if) send me a message here and I give you my email. thanks and great video. PD: not speak English very well, sorry.

[@jeepguysc]

Fake? haha

[@1mrfunnyguy1]

umm.. how many of you realized how fake this is?
