Hummingbird Gyros

[RogerB]

I searched and didn’t see any mention of this company anywhere on here, but I see them consistently on Facebook.

They are distributed by Helicopters International in the US and are a Brazilian manufacturer making 1 and 2 place open gyros. Anyone heard of them or had any experience/opinions about them?

Blue Sky Gyros was a distributor, not sure if they still are.

I believe Craig (Blue Skies Gyros) has stepped back from Hummingbird. I actually saw and sat in the single seater that was there for awhile.

To be fair the CLT was just to high for me to be comfortable in it and you sit up very high in these -- the pictures don't do it justification. After flying an Aviomania it would be hard to switch over to a machine like that. Craig felt the same way on a lot of these bullet points too.

Also their support is notoriously difficult even with a US distributor I would opt for other brands out there for the time being.

That being said I have not seen or used any of their dual seaters.
