This is a gyrocopter from Magni Italy.

One if the finest manufacturers of gyros in the world.

See also their web page.

Their newest model "Orion 24" has a closed cabine seating 2 side by side.

A dream come true :-)

wait a minute , I just decided to read the side of the plane lol , nevermind

[MrTravisStone]

what type of Gryocopter is this ? I've never seen this type of two seater before and how much do they go for?

[arcanacelestia]

So you can fly an autogyro without power but you never thought of putting a sock on your mircophone? Duh!

@arcanacelestia

Thank you for your comment. The video was taken with a standard Sony Digital Foto Camera and not a video camera. On these cameras one cannot reduce wind noise. I apologize.

I am happy that you enjoyed the flight demonstration nevertheless.

Great demonstration. Your camera guy does a great job too...

Smooth landing with obviously competent pilot!

Good job!

Nice landing.

I must say though, it IS part of helicopter-pilot training to disengage the main rotor and autorotate. At least for military pilots...Thought I throw that in here real quick :-)

Thank you for your information.

When I talk to private helicopter pilots they would not dare to land in autorotation.

So: congratulations to you!
