recflyer Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Thanks Russ. I tend to agree. I had no idea the new Auto Gyros were so capable until I did this interview. The interesting part for me was the fact that they are quite capable in strong crosswinds and turbulence in comparison to light fixed wing aircraft.
