New fully enclosed Magni gyroplane

richo · 21-02-2007, 10:00 AM

After years of extensive testing and after discarding 2 previous prototypes the M23 has come up to the standard of the Magni family and will soon go into production. Exactly when it will be available and for what price has yet to be decided.
Richo.

Jumpin Joey's!!!

Wonder what Greg G thinks about this one....

Given the current 'thinking' Richo, what's your take?

Cheers,

Mitch.

O.K, O.K, got a great idea! Lets get a simple open frame flying machine called a gyro, Add a cabin for comfort, give it big wheels for rough ground, fit comfortable seat, fit an extra one to carry someone else, fit a heap of unnecessary instruments and gizmos, fit big rotors for big lift, fit a real big motor to carry the crap we just put on, fit a big prerotator to get those suckers spinning fast, give it jump or vertical take off ability, get it approved by CASA and certified, give it a big price to recognise the comforts, call it basic seat of the pants flying, and then lets think up an appropriate name like......... "helicopter". Oh! bugger someones already done it. Forget to mention, then wonder why it flies like the big heap of crap it is. Just my obnoxious idea .Ken.

Not trying to be a smart arse but seriously with everything we've learned in the past 15 or 20 years a steped keel would be the first thing designed in I would think? I have only seen and flown in one Magni and I think the build quality is very good but a few small changes would be required before I owned one.
Birdy I hope I dont sound too much like "Your Mate",he's only a recent "convert'.

Thanks for your constructive comment Murray. I have passed it on to the Magni factory.

Bet they thought of lots of things, could be why they built it like this. Call em, ask for a please explain, then let us know their reply.
