Top 5 Things You need to know about Flying your Autogyro


Flying an autogyro can be difficult and sometimes scary. But it is also very rewarding. Here are 5 tips to help you get better at flying your autogyro:

1. Remember that your autogyro is not a helicopter. It cannot hover in one place, so you will have to move forward while you are gaining altitude.

2. When landing, remember that the propeller must keep spinning, or else you will crash. So don’t cut the throttle all the way before landing!

3. Autogyros can be difficult to start up, especially when there is a strong wind, so make sure that you are protected from the rotor blades by enclosing yourself within the cockpit of your autogyro before starting up its engine.

4. Don’t fly in weather conditions that are too windy; if you encounter gusts of wind while flying, try to steer into them instead of away from them to avoid losing control of your autogyro.

5. Always wear a helmet when flying an autogyro!

Flying an autogyro is an exhilarating experience. It offers the freedom of a helicopter and the simplicity of a fixed wing aircraft. In order to fly an autogyro, you will need to make sure that you are properly trained, and have the proper license. Below I have compiled a list of five things you need to know about flying an autogyro.

1) Autogyros are not helicopters!

Autogyros aren’t helicopters, and they don’t fly like one. If you try to fly them like a helicopter, you will probably crash. Autogyros use forward airspeed to achieve lift on their rotor blades, so if you slow down too much, they will fall out of the sky.

2) The controls are just like any other aircraft!

The control movements in an autogyro are just like any other plane. If you want to turn right, push the stick right; want to go up? Pull back on the stick; want to go down? Push forward on the stick; it’s that simple!

3) The center of gravity is extremely important!

The center of gravity in an autogyro is very different than your standard plane or helicopter. You will need to make sure that it is exactly where it

When I am flying my autogyro, I want to make sure that I can get to my destination safely and that I use the right techniques.

Here are the top 5 tips for flying your autogyro:

1. Use the right tools

2. Fly at the right speed

3. Avoid turbulence

4. Use the best fuel available

5. Stay calm under pressure

1. Fuel is your friend.

2. You need oil to run your engine.

3. Check your oil and fuel level before every flight, if not you may find yourself stranded in the middle of the tarmac like a fool!

4. Your oil and fuel will get low, so keep extra on hand!

5. If you follow these simple tips you will get better at flying autogyros, and that means more money for you!

1. Always make sure your rotor blades are tight and properly attached, before you start your engine. If you’re not sure, use a wrench to tighten the nuts.

2. Always make sure your fuel tank is full when you fly. If the engine stops mid-flight, that’s it: you crash and die.

3. Never fly near power lines or birds. An autogyro hits a bird at 80 mph, it’s like hitting a brick wall at 80 mph; if you hit a power line, you’re like hitting a steel wall at 80 mph (and electrocuted).

4. Never fly too close to other aircraft. At high speed, turbulence from large planes can knock an autogyro out of the sky like a ping pong ball in a wind tunnel.

5. Never attempt acrobatics in an autogyro unless you are very experienced and have safety equipment on hand: if the rotor blades stop spinning in mid-roll, the gyro will fall from the sky like a brick wall falling from the sky (hitting you on the way down).

1. Autogyros are generally easier to fly than conventional fixed-wing aircraft, because they can’t be stalled or spun. The gyroplane’s rotor will continue spinning while the pilot attempts to keep it in the air, even if the engine fails or the pilot stops applying power.

2. The gyroplane is mechanically simple. Maintenance and repair costs are low for this type of aircraft.

3. Autogyros have a high rate of climb and excellent visibility, which makes them well-suited for police and other observation duties. A number of gyroplanes have been used experimentally by air forces as fighters and bombers, with some successes but no clear superiority over conventional designs.

4. The autogyro was invented in 1920 by Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva, building on so-called free-flight rotor experiments in France by Georges de Bothezat and Paul Cornu between 1907 and 1914. De la Cierva’s autogyro was first publicly demonstrated at Getafe airfield near Madrid on 9 January 1923, reaching an altitude of 100 metres (330 ft). Five years later Cierva created his most successful design; the C-8 was a three seater with a steel tube fuselage, covered in plywood and

1. Be confident

2. Don’t be afraid of crashing

3. Fly with friends

4. Practice every day

5. Don’t give up!
