What is a porno mo?

I just wonder if it flies? I wonder who you would take lessons from?

So what do ya'll think of the deal on the ebay sounds cheap to get in the air which makes me a little nervous. How much is a new one? Also how fast are they?

I havn't looked recently but I know there are many sites out there that sell the gyros. You can find kits but they are more than what this one is on ebay. Here is a link to find out a bit more about them.

This will get you started. If this one gets away, I'm sure there will be more. People have a few scares in something like that and want to get rid of them cheap.

If you try to fly that without any training you are going to die. end of discussion.

Well, where do I get training it? I haven't seen any gyrocopter school advertising on cable channels.

There are not many schools around. I think the best place to start is the Rotocraft clubs, here is a link to one. http://www.pra.org/

There is an insructor listing link on one of the pages. Definately a good idea.

I don't feel like going to all that flight school stuff to fly a helicopter so I found the this gyrocopter on ebay. Is this a good deal? Also do you need a license?
