Despite sharing the same basic controls as a fixed wing aeroplane - stick, throttle, and rudder pedals, gyrocopters are incredibly nimble and there's manoeuvres a gyrocopter can do that other aircraft must not try. Unlike most other forms of flight a gyrocopter provides unrestricted views and flies slow enough and low enough to allow you to see what is happening on the ground below. There is nothing quite like the wind in your face as you fly at one with the world. This is a thrilling and unique experience perfect for any adrenaline junkie and we defy you not to have the 'gyrocopter grin' plastered to your face.

After a short introduction and familiarisation with the aircraft, you will be fitted with flying suits, crash helmets and head sets. Due to the capabilities of gyros they can withstand most weather conditions. After the safety belts are secured, you will be taxied out from the hangar and airborne within a few moments. During your flight you will climb to an altitude of about 800ft and be given the opportunity to take the aircraft controls (weather permitting).

Group Size: Tuition will be on a one-to-one basis.

Your flight will last approximately 30 minutes.
