Frequently asked questions about the Gyroplane in general:
Q：Is there a Gyroplane for more than two people?
A：No, because the Gyro is in the ultra light-class, we are restricted by a maximum takeoff weight. Therefore, the Gyro is limited to two people.
Q：Is flying dangerous?
A：Unlike an ultra light plane we do not need a pyrotechnic parachute, as we are constantly in autorotation. Even with an engine failure the Gyro can land without problems and without special landing procedures.
Q：Is it possible to visit the factory?
A：In order to provide the best experience possible for our customers, we ask to you set up an appointment with us. Every year we organize a "Fly In" on the third Saturday in August, during which you are welcome to take a look behind the scenes.For current updates please feel free to visit our website or contact our China Team.

A：Yes, in principle it is possible. However, we are restricted by law. Landing an aircraft in China is only possible on an approved airport or with a special landing permissino.
