As we get more capable gyros that are being used for x-country flight, and that includes some of the newer single seat gyros, it would be interesting to hear views on some of the ultralight glass cockpit systems out there.
Single seaters tend to be fun machines for the local area however with the possibility of a quick change enclosed canopy and greater range it is not inconceivable that they could be used for longer X-country flights. Early gyronaughts accomplished some remarkably long journeys albeit in many short sectors, but then life was simpler those days and there is very much more controlled airspace now with much more need for awareness about where one is.
Some of the more expensive European two seaters such as the Arrowcopter obviously have top of the range glass, but in terms of the lower end of the market, what is multi-tasking, light and above all affordable?
I see MLG are aiming at the low end.
