Hey everyone,
I don't know who here might be on Facebook, but I started a gyroplane group there and thought you might like to join.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=90877299349&ref=nf
The purpose of the group is primarily to educate and inform the masses about gyroplanes, and hopefully to spur interest in the sport.
Honestly, with the advances in designs and the availability of training on the rise, there's no reason why interest in these machines can't grow. Hopefully we can repeat the interest level of times past, but with modern machines and better trained enthusiasts. (This is not meant as a sleight to anyone or any design...everything evolves over time, it's the natural order of things.)
I've already posted a couple of links to some videos, including both Shawn Adam's and Dan Donley's awesome introductions to gyroplanes. I'm inspired by both of them, I know others will be too.
Other videos showing the capabilities of the machine will be added...feel free to post whatever you like.
