I am of the opinion that the butterflies are a very safe and well designed machine,So for a beginner it would make a good choice.Talk to Mitch concerning my point.
From my experiance having a fixed wing licence is not a help if learning to fly gyros.I have done aerobatics ,so I must fight my instinct to apply neg G"ssss,engine failure training on initial the same would apply.My feeling would be to find an instructor who is both GA and Gyro trained as he would understand your thought processes.
Why are there not many gyro fliers....We are a mob of rednecks who have an apointment with the down under,crazy whiskey drinkers and know how to dance with the devil...This comes from the flying faternity who know nothing about gyros BUT are the knowledge about everything except their own lives.Put simply they think that they know it all and frighten prospective gyro fliers with their negitivity.Gyro flyng is not dangerous if you are not only well trained but respect your machine and the enviroment.
ENJOY!!!!
