<CENTER><B>FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT GYROS<BR>
Submitted by Dan Leslie - Executive Producer of Rotor/Wing Sports TV</B></CENTER><BR>
<CENTER><A HREF="rwindex.html"><IMG BORDER=0 SRC="icon/dan.gif" alt="Select videos from the Rotor/Wing Sports TV show !">VideoGram Productions (Click here to select Videos!)</A></CENTER><BR>
HOW MUCH DO GYROS COST?<BR>
It depends on the design of the machine and the manufacturer. Single place gyros cost from $5,000 to $12,000. A two-place gyro can cost from $14,000 to around $25,000.
<P>
IS A LICENSE REQUIRED?<BR>
There is no license required if the aircraft weighs under 254 pounds. If it weighs more than that a student pilot's license is required.
<P>
HOW MUCH DOES TRAINING COST?<BR>
A potential student should budget about $1500 to $2500 for training.
<P>
HOW CAN I GET A TEST RIDE?<BR>
Both the Popular Rotorcraft Association and this site (above) maintain a list of Certified Flight Instructors near you. They will be happy to arrange for a ride.
