Gyrocopter

The Calidus is one of the new generation of Gyrocopters in the UK, BCAR Section-T compliant, factory built in Germany with final assembly in the UK at Rotorsport UK Ltd’s CAA approved workshops. Gyrocopters have come a long way since Little Nellie in the James Bond film You Only Live Twice and are now practical, safe and serious fun to fly machines.

The Gyrocopter complements our other flying activities. In many ways the Calidus is very similar to our present microlights, using the same Rotax engine and having a similar range and performance. It does however have an increased take off weight (500 kg), can land in a much smaller space and can handle 40kt winds without incident. The licence required is the PPL(G) which is more hours than the microlight but then the aircrafts abilities are much broader.
