Author: Last November, I visited David Sigier at AirProGyro.com to take a serious look at adding a gyroplane to my fleet.
When I arrived, the weather was far from ideal, with gusty winds reaching $65\text{ km/h}$. Despite the conditions, David took me up for a couple of flights. I was absolutely amazed by how the aircraft handled the turbulence and captivated by its unique flight characteristics—especially the “slow-flight” and “vertical descent” capabilities. After five days of lessons, I was sold. I purchased a used AutoGyro Cavalon equipped with a Rotax 914 Turbo and an additional Big Bore kit, which boosts the engine’s output to $135\text{ hp}$.
The original plan was for David and me to ferry the “Whirly-Bird” together from Quebec to Invermere in mid-April. However, due to some of my other time commitments, David ended up making the solo trek across the country.
Once the Cavalon arrived, David stayed to complete my transition training right here in Invermere. I’m officially signed off and ready for new adventures!
