I am a long-time pilot, but new to Gyroplanes. Took my first Gyroplane ride on Monday in a Sparrow Hawk. It was great but short-lived when the drive belt on the Subaru engine disintegrated and we made an emergency landing. It was a testimonial to the pilot's skill and the agility of the Gyroplane.
I would like to build a gyroplane and have looked at the LittleWing and Sportster. I recently saw the video of Chuck Beaty's gyro and liked the simplicity of the design. Is there any further information about this gyro and can it be adopted to side by side seating? Has anyone had any experience with the Sportster?
Appreciate your feedback.
