Default Another Good reason to like Gyros (size)

I brought my Quicksilver home today... The wings are 16' 5" each with a 6' 3" cord. The tail is 9 feet wide... It takes up my entire garage... and thats with the wings off. I can park my car and my gyro in here together.. Not the plane... Go Gyros

Wow!

I used to fly Quicksilver when I was an ultralight instructor. Those planes few very slowly, but you could land them almost anywhere, the single seater particularly.

How old is your's?

Mine is a 2 place 1995 MXL-II Sport. I have a BRS , electric starter, ELT and all the goodies, but I keep it striped down to nothing for performance. Now it's just striped down to fit in my garage... Poor car has to stay outside for a while...

You need a bigger garage.
