How much do these cost? Maybe i already answer myself, but i never seen one of these in the city, are those city legal or they are just for entertainment like a quad?

[@flying_bros]

Hi, so gyroplanes are not that rare or costly, but gyroplanes with street legal upgrade are quite rare because street legal upgrade is not very cheap, it requires a lot of bureaucracy (in some countries it is not even possible) and additional vehicle insurance. So as you can imagine a lot of gyroplane pilots prefer to call a cab or take a foldable electric scooter with them when they are traveling somewhere then go with this extensive process.

How does the handling of a gyro with a fixed pitch prop differ from one with a variable pitch prop?

[@theredkitechannel3194]

They handle the same, except it maintains a constant rpm when maneuvering.

Do you have upgraded wheels? I know bush planes often get bigger tires to handle off-runway scenarios.

[@flying_bros]

These are regular wheels, but I saw on the internet that you can also buy bush wheels for a gyro.

Or just get a helicopter 🚁

[@flying_bros]

Helicopters are cool and stuff. But buying and maintaining a helicopter is up to 10 times more expensive than airplanes or gyroplanes.
