I love gyrocopters and it was a slick website, so easy upvote from me.
$300K is way too steep, though. For that price why not buy a new Cessna and just drive a clunker to the airport?
And, for that matter, $300K is way too steep for a Cessna. The amount of money added to planes to cover lawsuits is insane. You end up buying an amount of gear that might sell retail for 30-50K for 10 times that much.
I'd love to fly this, but hell, I don't see why I'd paid that much. Even if I were a gyrocopter fanatic, I'd just buy a kit and have it built. It's just way too much money for way too little capability.

Because when you get to the other end, you're stuck with the "$100 burger" at some out-of-the-way rural airstrip, instead of being able to drive into town and go to the nice pub. You'd have to be quite special for that to be worth $300k on a "toy" though…
- savrajsingh 14y agotime for an iconaircraft -- it's half the price and twice as cool.
