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

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.

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

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

They cost alot more now!

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

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