Has anyone else on this forum taken any lessons in an autogyro? I went this past tuesday for my first lesson in one and have to say it was the most fun thing I have flown to date. The VSI was indicating a 1500 ft/min climb shortly after takeoff at 60 MPH. We had no ground roll after landing. We stayed between 60 and 80 MPH for most of the flight.
The instructor was a very nice guy, Jim Logan. I believe he said he'd be at Fond du Lac airport just south of Oshkosh during airventure giving rides for anyone interested. I highly recommend it. It's a ton of fun.
