    Anybody have any experience with these things?

    Looking at the following:

    http://www.autogyrousa.com/pdf/Cavalon_Brochure_2013.pdf

    Have private pilots license but not a whole lot of hours in the log book.

    Was told this could be good-As the way you pilot an AutoGyro is different from a plane. (Any neg G's in an AutoGyro a big NO NO.) So with only a few hours in a plane little I have to "unlearn".

    Was also told this could be bad. Need good number of hours flying in "general" to really do well in an Autogyro.

    If I bought this I would go thru the factory supplied training on flying craft, etc. Will do proper (above min suggested) training with various Autogyro instructional schools.

    In other words-I would make sure I have good training in these things before buying it.

    Need general feedback on this autogyro and autogyros in general.
