AutoGyro Cavalon 915iS Gyroplane - New York meets Los Angeles! 

Man, over the past 8 hours I've watched almost every autogyro video on RU-vid....I want one!

I've been interested in gyros for 10 years now. I've always dreamed of flying and I'm finally ready to fulfill that dream now. I came close to buying a second hand one 3 years ago but I decided to save up for a new one that's fully loaded from day one. I'm finally ready to buy one without financing it. I've got experience with helicopters, not as a pilot, but lots of heliportable work. I've taken the stick as often as our pilots would let me. I can maintain a hover, I know that's not much, but it's something. I am going to invest in the best training I can find. Low and slow is the most appealing type of flying to me, although carving through the bush following a winding river seems alot quicker than the dials indicate. Flying makes me feel............I got no words for it. I'm leaning really hard towards this gyro in particular.

I flew with Henry last month. He's a great teacher and pilot.

That big empty space on the instrument panel is begging for a Garmin display, but I'm guessing the purchase and installation costs would be off the wall since we're talking about avionics. I WANT ONE OF THESE!

My 70 year old brother just sent me this video. He always wanted a gyro-copter. So many advantages. Super cool !

Love, love, love...great work team!!!

I like the Cavalon. I don't often make it to the Fun Fly Zone at Oshkosh. But, when I do, I look for the Cavalon.

Great Video Thank you .Keeping my interest for sure.!

I HAVE got to get me one. Man I love these

Awesome

BENISSIMO !!!!!!!!!!!

Love the video!

Amazing video guys !!!

First....I’m so glad my search listed your video! I am Licensed SEL VFR 600hrs sold Piper and yet I can’t stop watching gyro videos and I have a feeling yours are going to be great. Second.....you both spoke about all these times, types, ratings you have yet you both also said something that I’m wondering but not yet experienced, that you love flying these. Would you be willing to elaborate? If do go down the gyro route, will I also have to get into a 12 step gyros anonymous group!?

the autogyro is a wonderful apparatus! Felipe De León, pilot of the youtube channel, greets you TODO HOBBY..

Haha. Had a great time.

Looks and sounds like it vibrates a lot

Nice video! I’m surprised you don’t have much more subscribers or viewers!!!!

Do the Cavalon out do the Argon in Top Speed and Cruise Speed and Slow Speed also. Thanks JohnBurns.

He said everything it had, i am wondering does it have a safety parachute when the motor stops in mid flight ?

Prerotating the Rotor to 300 RPM? (at 1:55 mins). I wanna try that.

Love that plane, never seen it in real life, but i want one now, i sell my house and sleep in a tent then :)

I like it! It's a beautiful aircraft. How much time does it take for someone with no experience flying to get behind the stick in this aircraft?

Show

It sounded an awful like you guys were in a massage chair that flight. Did you *feel* that much vibration, or is that an audio issue?

So can you get it with the air conditioning unit and heated seats? Another video said they deleted the heated seats for weight and have cheap cloth ones. And does this one have a constant speed prop?

Cool video... What is a typical cruising speed with 915 engine?

Hawthorne?

Will the Cavalon 915iS Gyroplane (or any other model) be able to hover like a helicopter?

What is the useful load on the 915?

Just saying: "Gyrocopter" is a trademark of Bensen Aircraft. I built one in High School. "Gyroplane" is the proper generic term.

Simple question, how do you get used to the shake of the stick? Seems to be part of the design.

Just wish it had packing space to make it a truly cross country plane.

Can you fly with the doors off ?

Do I have an itch!

Lots of vibration there?..

Wheres the diesel models

Looks and sounds very shaky though?

Anyone else picking up a jitter in their voices like their is a bad vibration while flying this thing? I'd say that wouldn't make for a good ride for very long.

bro what even are these

I'd feel more secure flying with a vehicle where my wings wear not in danger of flying off from centrifugal forces.

They appear to be unsafe

How fast will this Gyro go(Cruise) speed. MPH.

manco se mi pagano

Imagine if it could hover. Do you think maybe one day with more innovation and better technology the gyro will be able to hover?...
