Flight Fairoaks UK to Bellegarde France in a Magni M24 Gyrocopter

This was the return flight in what was a very long day. I was picked up at 6am and took off at 7am finally landing at Bellegarde at 17.35 (+1hr on UK).Total of 7 engine hours but a long time in a Gyro. I urge you to watch to the end because I made a really awful final landing at Bellegarde which I put down to being very tired!!

    I’m binge watching your videos, my admiration for not editing out the landing. Thanks for your content.

    I wondered if you were going to go around. (I used to fly fixed wing). Great video!

    Apesar de eu não entender muita coisa, sobre seu idioma, gostei do vídeo...O pouso final foi um pouco, digamos emocionante, mas o que importa é que deu tudo certo...Parabéns...

    Magneto? I doubt it 😉 😆 Btw, avgas is all we use on our airfield - Rotax engines are fine with it so long as you do 25hr oil changes

    The Gyro appears to have a good bit of vibration. The front and back gyro's appear more stable than the side by side.

    A good observation, in general I think you are correct

    Can I ask what the typical landing fee would be at small regional airfields please?

    Fairoaks I think charge £17:50, in Switzerland I pay around CHF 15-25 depending on which airfield

    Gyros are a lot of fun. We really enjoyed having this one visit our airport / aerodrome here in Nogales, Arizona, USA. Enjoy watching the "slo-mo" segment. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hmqj2sSzh73Rnbw.html

    Yeah that was a rough landing, but you didn't technically overshoot the end of the runway!

    What happens if you have to take a dump mid flight? Can you open the hatch and stick the buns out and let er fly
