this is not a serious / I'm going to buy tomorrow / kind of post... it's more a day-dreaming first post to the forum trying to find out what to set my sites on (even if they are years away).
My question is this. I really like the two seat side by side gyros.
I have never even flown in a gyro though. I have a fixed wing PPL with only about 120 hours.
I would like to get into gyros in the future, but not sure if I should start with a single seat cheap model to develop skills or save my money and hold off for a two seater. Ultimately, I would want to be able to take my wife with me on adventures or going to see the kids (we're 50). But, the price point puts it way out there (I could be saving for 10-15 years).
Also - I thought about what happens if you start flying gyros and then quit. I would rather have a $10k "bad decision" I'm trying to sell VS a $60K "bad decision"
So, the question is - what was YOUR first gyro?
why did you pick that one?
was it a good choice?
