Need opinion on Girabet 2 Sport

[przemor]

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with Spanish gyro Girabet 2 Sport?
How it behaves in the air?
Thanks in advance.

The person flying it in this video seems to be having fun with it:

Yes, I agree, it seems to be.
Probably it will be hard to find someone having an experience with that gyro in different conditions.
Sport version has a nice semi-enclosed cockpit and I'm not sure about the influence, e.g. on performance during start (prop is not working in clean conditions), stability in gusts etc.

I flew it in Spain a couple of years ago. The side by side version. Nice machine and well built.

Thanks.
How about sensibility of controls?
Girabet looks pretty compact so I'm a bit worried about that.

Same as other gyros. Sensibility of controls in gyros is not an issue. In helicos, with their hydraulic systems, it is.

Thanks. Perfect.
