Me too! It looked awesome fun to fly, and they’re no more expensive than a nice used car, if the news reports are accurate.

There is a GQ thread about the aircraft - and why you don’t want to mess with them.

They kill people real good - a gust of wind can kill you, and, once the rotor stops, it cannot be restarted.

Don’t go there. Powered Parachutes are are much safer than a gyroplane.
