New Sport Pilot

[JJ Campbell]

I got my Sport Pilot ticket today. Off to Zephyrhills as soon as possible for my gyro endorsement!

Congratulations! Have fun with the gyro; they look like they'd be a real hoot to fly..

[Warmi]

Gyros are scary - they lack wings or rather the lift device is not very obvious

Congrats on the sport pilot rating.....let me know when you make it to ZPH, that's where I keep my SportCruiser. The gyro guys there always look like they are having fun, but it's not my cup of tea. Warmi is right, those things scare me too.

There's always 1........or 5 in the pattern at any given time.

I thought you used fly a home made chopper or something along these lines

We have a few gyros at our airport as well.... my wife calls them “MadMax people” ...

Yes, I flew a helicopter, no a gyrocopter. Those things defy all reason.

Actually . . they don't really fly . . . they just beat the earth into submission.

It's worse than that, Bill. They defy the laws of physics, when they apply inordinate amounts of power, and somehow manage to lift off. By rights, they should be screwing themselves into the ground!

A few of them do that too. It ain'tpretty!
