All of the impracticality of a two-seater car that now needs regular aircraft maintenance.

Still, if money were not object, I think it would get a garage spot, just because it is so unique.

I preferred the PAl-V One, was so much cooler design, not like this luxurised monstrosity.

Does it have the common Auto-Gyro failure mode, where if the pilot tilts the rotor too far forward, or unloads the rotor suddenly, it is nearly  impossible to develop enough force on the control handle  to recover?  Aka "bunting" the rotor.

A good friend writes books on piloting helicopters.  He forbid me from taking a ride in a homebuilt  autogyro with a low time pilot  for precisely that reason.

I'd love to own one, but one wonders if a beat up old C172 is more practical.

The bloke selling these doesn't go by the name Del Boy by any chance?  :)

The reason I ask is that it looks a lot like someone has stuck an autogyro rotor on a fancy version of the infamous Reliant Robin. If you registered one in the UK you'd have to get the tail number G-DELB.
