This is the only demonstration (aside from those by Commander Ken Wallis) I have seen of hands off and feet off controls indicating the inherent stability of this particular design I've not seen on other ships of this type.
" Aggressive use of the stick... even full forward with full power.... nothing happens. Push it hard forward and let it go... it settles in level flight immediately."
Are you trying to hurt yourself? You will be able, if you continue like this. Gyro is a great flying machine, but it is never recommended to put it in a zero G condition.
@Tecnobingo : these were test flights for the aviomania Genesis Gyro. We need to explore its envelope so our customers don't. Most Gyros when they fly at ~0G they have tendencies of power push over or torque over which can kill you in a split second. "Genesis" was designed to eliminate both of the above. BUT..... At low G's the rotor slows down Fast!! those maneuvers were sustained for only 2-3 seconds and the RRPM was in RED. Maintain the low G and you loose the rotor. Tests were progresive
@cyflyer Those maneuvers ARE NOT RECOMENTED for normal Operations. They were tested gradually and at altitude (with a parachute) so we could "Prove" the design. How many manufactures are testing there gyros to the limits?
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME... Even with our Gyros. Taking the Gyro to the limit requires good knowledge of the aerodynamics involved, knowledge of the minimum safe limits and a planed recovery action. Anything past that... like stalling and spinning an airplane from 300 feet
Good flying, Very Good machine, hve a question at/between 1:41 - 2:28 there appears to be a rocking motion [for/aft], is that deliberate? I'm trying to understand if that can be induced by the camera movement - don't see how though?
Just curious on the electrical prerotation I'm guessing that the gear reduction is how you prevent over current to the electric motor, and yet get high enough rpms later in the prerotation?
This is a demo flight & the for/aft rocking was intentional. PIO (pilot induced oscillation) is a common problem with unstable gyroplanes & tents to go out of control. You can see that although I am trying VERY HARD this gyroplane DOES NOT PIO.
You can also see (1:11 - 1:30) that power changes has no torque reaction (my arm is on the air and I do not correct it.) it corrects its self.
This gyro is designed for MAX safety, stability & maneuverability. I use a speed controller for motor.
WOW, Great looks, The handling look excellent, and clt is spot on, very well designed machine, I must have watched this video 7 times already, And each time it gets better
Thanks for the comment. Yes this is the lightest prerotator on the market, and it is my design as well as the Gyrocopter is my design.... one of the most stable.
great video

@cyflyer Where is the chute located ?

@3593893 On this video there is no chute. The first tests were made at high altitude and the pilot was wearing a parachute.

very nice gyro.. do you sell them?? if so, how much?

Thank you.
yes we have kits from 900 euro going up.
Visit my website ( the address is on the video) and see the details in "products"

Looks real good, how is the clt,From what i can tell it looks as if it may be a little high, maybe a seat tank ?

It is 2" LOW trust with empty fuel and 1" low thrust with full fuel ( 80KG pilot.)
105Kg pilot shifts the Vertical Cof G 1\4" lower.

That is some bad ass flying.
I haven`t seen electric prerotation before only hydrolic. Is it your design?
