Hi all:
Here Xavier from Spain.
I'm looking for a project to build.
I did my homework searching in Internet and there is nothing tagged as "modern gyroplane, canopied and fast - cruise speed 100 mph".
Most of the classical companies that had plans and support to builders are not active (f.e. Barnett Gyroplanes...). Seems that 2010 crisis killed most of them.
Then my wife, a source of crazy and good ideas, said... ask experienced pilots ... and here I am.
I'm looking to build my own gyrocopter for many well known reasons that you imagine:
* price
* learn more about piloting
* a good hobby to spent my time
* I believe that build an aircraft is magic and fun. Then fly it, too.
* I'm tall and heavy and a custom canopy is mandatory.
The question:
I'm looking for a reasonably well documented gyrocopter project to build from plans or kit with customizations.
For now the unique option is buy a basic kit and add at my own...
What do you think?
Best.
