And even though I sold my Kolb Ultrastar ultralight, I haven’t given up on fixed wing ultralights either. I’m working on a crazy idea with a...
Yes, there are plenty of accomplished gyro pilots who would like to fly this thing. I’ll need to solo in it. Since gyros are not certificated...
Since I fell into the “perfect” gyroplane for me, at a simply amazing price, I’m not going to attempt to fly it until I’m absolutely certain I’m...
I’ve enjoyed my 8 logged hours in a Cessna 172 and learned much about the basics of flight. I don’t like flying the Cessna though. Mainly because...
His. Mine is a single seat open cockpit design. I ended up getting 6 hours of flight instruction with him while I was there.
Thanks. Thats just the rotor box on the trailer deck under it. This morning I had my first 1 1/2 hours of gyro CFI. What a blast!!
I’m on my way home with this gyroplane. The thing is a beast with that Yamaha engine (with no muffler) and sounds awesome. [ATTACH]

For some reason they never interested me to be honest. I think because they require calm conditions. Where I live it’s a wide part of the...
Not yet, and I’ve never flown in one yet, but I will get the proper training before I do fly mine. I’m currently driving out to Mentone Indiana...
I actually have two ultralights now, a Kolb Ultrastar (which is part 103 compliant) with a Kawasaki 440, and a Butterfly Ultralight gyroplane...
I’ve talked to a lot of ultralight Facebook group and ultralight forum moderators. The dirty secret is that the majority of “ultralights”...
Unfortunately it would be way over the FAA part 103 weight limit with the 582, and it’s cruise speed would also likely exceed part 103 limits. If...
