Re: Autogyros vs Gyrocopters
Do not get me wrong, but I do not care how an american magazine wants to call it. In my part of the world (Europe) where most of the birds are built and flown, they are called Gyrocopters or Tragschrauber or Autogyro (Autogiro was the brand name of del ingeniero español Juan de la Cierva). The FAA ...

Re: Tandem vs Side by Side; Perfect vs Ideal.
Hi Flynote, For the last 6 months I have been looking at the horrible looking single seaters from the States. I remember the fun I used to have flying in the 80's my Quicksilver MX2 at 60 km/h.

Re: Limitation between PPL and MPL light sport
Agree - look at some you tube clips for CH 701's and even the 4seater CH801.
Their new 750 cruiser can do what the sling does, while you're sitting in the wing's shade.
(taking nothing away from the sling)
The exchange rate might however affect the final decision.
