Sport Copter Gyrocopters Low Level Flying

Depends on the size of the fuel tank. Gyros like these usually hold enough fuel for 1.5 - 2 hours of flying.

how far can you fly in one of those?

Suicidal . . .for an inexperienced pilot certainly. You've got to admire people like this with the guts and skill to push the envelope with their machines. I've seen videos of gyro pilots doing loops before--can't remember who, but I know it's been done.

Jim Vanek (the pilot in this video) is the only person doing loops in a gyro. He performs them at airshows all the time. It's still suicidal.

Woah....did I just see a loop at 0:53? Isn't that damn near suicidal in a gyro?

ive been waiting for so long for somthing like this been following these and small heli's for few years, just cant wait till i have enough clink to own one great video nice 180's and backflip

I live in the SF bay area and would like to know where in my area are they flying gyros and possibly take a lesson

Yikes! That 180 turn inside the trees is scary, much like trying to turn in a canyon. SportCopter II's would be great for search and rescue work....

Nice video, dude!!!

This was a wonderful ride; thoroughly enjoyed this outstanding video. Thanks so much for sharing it, and happy landings!

That is crazy dude! I wouldn't want to be with him the first time he tried that 180 in the trees!

Absolutely incredible handling! I need one badly.
