Anyone know much about auto gyros. I fly helis offshore but gyros look like fun!

Sorry forgot to add in UK.

Also Roger Savage at Carlisle Airfield, who is one of the seven gyro instructors in the UK. He's also a helo pilot and AFI. I went up there for a trial lesson last year, looking for something cheap and rotary - gyros are indeed fun, but I never got around to going back. Roger has the RAF 2000, which looks like a little helicopter, and another tandem 2-seater gyro, the name of which escapes me right now. There's also a lot of info on the British Rotorcraft Association's webpage; I can't remember the address, but if you do a search on gyros it's easy to find.

Excellent I had my trial lesson on the 13th...never had so much fun - what a great toy. Bit cold this time of year though, think I'll wait till summer b4 I get a licence.
