What kind of license from the FAA do you need to fly one of those things?

There are two kind of gyrocopters.  The standard one that weighs more and has more horse power.  With this machine you need to have a FAA "N" number and a pilot licence.

  The ultra light gyrocopter which weighs less, less horse power  you don't need anything except "BALLS" to fly it.   :wink: :smile:  I don't know of any women that has flew one.  But most likely the women are, surly one has flew one.  :haha: :wink:

Yeah, I just looked it up in the Federal Aviation Regulations.  It says that over a certain weight, a Sport pilot or Private pilot certificate is required.

  Yep, :thumbsup:    Locutus, did  you know that they now have two place gyros,  You can take someone a ride or teach someone to fly a gyro.  That sure would be a safer way to learn how to fly a gyro, safer than what I had to go through.    :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: :chute:

Yeah I did. It mentioned those in the FARs I looked at.  It mentioned dual time for training, and I surmised that there must be two seaters if that's to happen.  ;D

And despite feeling a bit under the weather today, I fired up the steel horse and took her out for a 250 mile stroll this morning.

She needed a bath, but I needed the therapy a whole lot more.  :yes: :smile:

PH,
Ole' Duke logged about 200 miles yesterday on my ole' faithful steed. I went on a charity ride (miles for mutts) We had about 200 bikes and took a 110 mile ride though the country back roads. Thoroughly enjoyed and some money was made to help man's best friend.

Best regards,

Duke (animal lover) Jupiter

A buddhist monk approaches a burger foodtruck and says "make me one with everything." The buddhist monk pays with a $20 bill, which the vendor takes, puts in his cash box, and closes the lid. "Where's my change?" the monk asks. The vendor replies, "change comes from within".

It's hard to take kleptomaniacs and puns seriously. Why? They take things literally.

I think those are both witty and funny....but being as tired as I am, I just laughed out loud! Every body is just looking at me kind of weird.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.
