Flight Log
Every entry carries a named author, a stated basis for their experience, and the sources behind any claim of fact. How we work.
Ownership
Rotax sets TBO at 2,000 hours or 15 years, whichever comes first. A lightly flown used aircraft can hit the calendar limit long before the hour limit, and the tach reading alone will not tell you.
Ownership
Open cockpit versus enclosed cabin is the real comfort question. Here is what enclosed models actually offer, and what this category genuinely does not have.
Ownership
Liability commonly runs $1,500 to $1,800 a year and full coverage several thousand more. Why it costs so much, and what actually brings it down.
Ownership
Most two-seaters fly on 100 to 141 hp, nearly always a Rotax. What the power actually does, what the turbo buys, and the underpowering mistake to avoid.
Ownership
Blades off, a gyroplane fits a garage bay and rides an ordinary trailer. How owners store and move these machines, and the blade-handling rule that matters.
Ownership
A two-seat gyrocopter typically carries about 480 to 680 pounds of people, fuel and baggage. Here is what useful load means and the pilot-weight limit to check.
Ownership
Most run on ordinary unleaded gasoline, the same fuel as your car. Here is why, when aviation fuel is needed, and the ethanol and octane catches to watch.
Ownership
A new two-seat gyrocopter runs about $70,000 to $150,000. Here is what drives the price, what used machines cost, and the ownership bills nobody quotes.
Masthead
Everyone publishing on this site is named, and every byline carries a stated basis for that person's experience. Years in the industry is calculated from the year they started, not typed into a bio, so it cannot quietly inflate.

Our goal is a single platform for all things gyroplanes: a free buy, sell and trade marketplace, training, a CFI guide, gyrocopter schools, manufacturer reviews and more.
