Aviomania. Come and fly with me over CYPRUS

[gregoriobarros]

VERY GOOD MUITO LEGAL MESMO

Looks Fun!

Gyroplanes do not stall, can land with 0 ground run and are always in auto rotation. so if your engine stops you do not need to do anything. just find a place to put the gyroplane down, which can be just a bit bigger than the rotors. wind and turbulence do not effect its flying as much as airplanes. If need bee you can just descent vertical to the ground.

all these been said.. there are some dangerous gyros out there, so choosing a safe model is important. visit pra dot org

@cyflyer Also see our video "Aviomania dead stick landing" and the end of "Aviomania at Thiva April 2011" to see the very low speed that you can land in case of engine failure

I was told that this type of plane it's the safest thing to fly on... can any expert tell me how and why ? thankyou !

[cyflyer]

Thanks. The area there is next to my hangar... so i know that area very well. for example.. at 5:28 i pull up and then come down at 5:48... around the cables.

@cyflyer

Search for "Aviomania Agrinio"

and watch that video..... it was filmed in a show i did in Greece with one of my customers gyro.

[kipplbennie]

awesome vid man, if just added it to my fav list. quick question tho, how do u go about flying so close to the ground and know ur not going to find high voltage power lines? do u scout the area from a safe height first of just keep ur eyes peeled?

[cymicrolight]

Purely awsome!! How can I arrange to come and have a flight with you in a gyro - am living near Limassol and am a frustrated 3 axis microlight pilot who misses flying!!

[cyflyer]

@cymicrolight Visit my webpage ( the address is in the video) to get my phone no.

give me a call and we can arange something..........

I noticed that in your video, showing the 84 to 15 mph in 2.5 seconds, what kind of stresses are being presented to the frame, rotor assembly, and rudder assembly?

[cyflyer]

@gcs233

The stress is about 2 G. An Auto rotating rotor needs some time to accelerate its RPM to support the extra "Weight" (the loading under increased G) so the stress is not "instant" as can be on a fixed wing aircraft. Also, when the rotor accelerates its tip speed approaches supersonic and the drag associated with those speeds does not allow the rotor to accelerate more so applying more than 2-2.5G on a Gyroplane is not easily accomplished.

Sometimes I think we are limited by living on this small island. But when I see what you have designed and are doing with it ... FLYING! ... Surreal! You make us all proud and remind us of the endless possibilities. Thank you.

Question: Can it land without the engine, in case of emergency?

[cyflyer]

Yes it can. You can see my other videos and in one i land it with out engine. Look for " Aviomania Dead Stick Landing" at the side bar, Or find it under " More From : cyflyer"

[rarebeat]

Stunning!

[cyflyer]

Thank you.

[szarak81]

Fantastic !

[cyflyer]

Thanks

[szarak81]

Greate skills - nothing more, nothing less :) Greetings from Poland !

[cyflyer]

Thank you

Another awsome vid! I live through you gyro pilots. I hope to one day join the community.

[cyflyer]

Thanks... i hope you do!!!

[cyflyer]

Thanks Ed for your kind words.

[rd2ed]

Thank you Nicolas, for one of the finest gyro flying videos I have seen so far. You must have the blades well tuned, for there is almost no stick-shake.

With your innovative gyro design ideas and the will to try them, you are a great asset to the gyro community and to the Rotary Forum.....

Ed (RotoPlane)

[cyflyer]

Thanks.

Gyros do not have a stalling speed. Minimum level flying speed, with full power 19 mph. You can bring the speed down to 0 mph, it will not stall, just descent vertically, like a parachute.

[Petersen817]

Cool vid.! I feel the wind in my face!

the stall or min. speed is how many?

[TheGyroMan]

I'm flying a Sportcopter Lightning

[TheGyroMan]

Amazing how calm your control stick is while flying!! Wish mine was that calm! Again, great scenery!

[cyflyer]

It takes a bit of time to balance the blades good. what type of gyro do you fly?

[motojeff]

Thats great footage. Where is this place?

Jeff

[cyflyer]

Thanks Jeff. It is over Zigi area in CYPRUS.

[motojeff]

In Florida?

[cyflyer]

It is CYPRUS...Not  Cypress....

Cyprus is an island in the East Mediterranean (Europe)

[TheGyroMan]

Nice video!!  Great scenery you have to fly over also. Thanks for sharing.

[cyflyer]

Thanks
