Part 1 of the 447 Commander Gyroplane original demo video

I remember looking at these in the 1980s and could buy one for about $5000.00usd.

They cost alot more now!

This vid makes me want to fly an autogyro. What a scenery.

[fettersbuiltco]

Me too, and I made the vid! The scenery was mostly taken in the Kansas City MO area, down in the Missouri river valley along the bluffs. Good place to fly. Thanks for watching.

if i for some reason isnt able to build one within, say 12 years (ill be thirty)

i'll buy one of these for sure!

You can keep an eye out for a good used Commander. I see them on eBay once in a while, but people that own them tend to keep them. I would stay with at least a 503 Commander or up, and definitely get one with the pod installed, their faster and more comfortable to fly.

The 447 is still about the sharpest and cleanest looking design of gyroplanes that I've seen of the "open cockpit" variety.

[fettersbuiltco]

You are very kind to take the time to say so. Thank you very much.

This was tape that got me in to gyros ten years ago. What a great marketing video.

[fettersbuiltco]

Thank you, and glad to be the one that got you interested in gyroplanes.

I have this intro tape as well, somewhere. Mine was given to me by Dennis personally. I should have bought one of these when I had the chance.

[fettersbuiltco]

Is that you Frank?

[hugelman3]

You betcha buckaroo! How the hell are you?

[gyrovision]

I still have this intro tape. This aircraft design saved my life in 1996, long story. Thank you Dennis.

[fettersbuiltco]

I sure would like to hear that story!! Thanks for the comment.
