Both these things (and some more) can be found on the manufacturer's website http://www.auto-gyro.com/index.php?lang=d&header=autogyro&value=downloads. Also check on the right hand side the section labeled "Handbücher" (manuals). Unfortunately, everything is in German.

And I didn't! You were write Chris, everything there what I'm interesting for, is in German. I have visited all offered links with no or a little success. I didn't find neither Pilots handbook or Maintenance manual in English. So again, does anybody can help me with those two books?

Thanks!

There are a few translation software around. Here is a free one but you can only do a page at a time.

By the way you can go on the FAA site. There is a Pilot Handbook which is down loadable from there.

You might start with an excellent online FAA handbook
http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aircraft/media/faa-h-8083-21.pdf

Go to Chapter 15 and beyond for gyro.


Paul Abbott books are also good

Thanks Thom and JR T.
Babelfish site works, I'll have to make some effort but, it is worth. Also, I have downloaded FAA handbook, so sleepless nights here I come!
Here in Europe main authority is JAA so I'll compare those two associations, but I think that Gyro flying is more developed in US and conected with that probably FAA is more "experienced".
Thanks again.
