You don’t own a gyrocopter – you have a deep and meaningful relationship with it. And it’s a damn good investment.
What was once considered an activity only practised by “those on the fringes of aviation lunacy” (a term once used by an aviation journo in the 1990’s when referring to gyro pilots) has grown to probably the fastest growing sector of sport aviation. Gyro pilots are still crazy, but this time absolutely crazy about their gyroplanes which turns their dreams of reaching for the skies into reality. If you could only ask former Royal Air Force Wing Commander Ken Wallis and engineer extraordinaire who built and flew Little Nellie, in the James Bond Movie, You only Live Twice. At the age of 95, this nonagenarian was still trying to beat the gyro air speed record…
