Impressive photographs. Seriously.
I've always been intrigued by the gyrocopter lightweights. Not intrigued enough to fly in one, you understand.
I took a flight in an ultra lightweight with a friend who was thinking of buying the damn thing. The starter rope pull was right there by my left hand in case we needed to restart in the air. It was a good flight, my buddy was a good pilot, But I never got entirely comfortable... Nice views, though.
it's my favourite thing to do here. As soon as this pesky rain clears I'll be headed up again soon. The open cockpit does it for me, makes it so immediate. Like riding a motorcycle in the sky
The closest I've come to open cockpit was a J3 Cub that a crazy assed neighbor owned. That was a volkswagen with wings... He'd take me up looking for coyotes and feral dogs with my trusty 30.06.
sounds a bit mad max haha
