Presentation

Presentation Topic- Adventures in the Gyro trade…
Recently, a wide-eyed passenger stepping off a Gyrocopter was
heard saying, “Wow!! That’s the closest I’ve ever been to a
motorcycle in the sky!” An apropos description! Tandem seats,
open cockpit, narrow fuselage, blades flying above and behind, a
gyrocopter is an incredible and unusual machine… an intimate
experience in rarefied air! It’s an adventure in and of itself and a
great way to explore the local skies…
But cross country? Long distance??
Resident gyroplane expert Paul Hollingworth says absolutely!
Paul’s been flying gyroplanes since 2015 and now has over 1,000
hours in his Magni M16. He was recently minted as a commercial
pilot and is a highlight of our Young Eagle events. In the past,
Paul’s been kind enough to present to us on the topic of how the
Gyro works and some of its unique details. This month he’ll share
with us the challenges and difficulties of taking this amazing
machine long distance over cross country… and the Triumphs and
pay offs! Turns out there’s quite a bit to pulling this off. Some
grand adventures and good stories await us. We hope you’ll join
us!
