I'm not sure which forum to stick this in but there are some amazing views in this guy's gyrocopter flight from Oban to Skye. I've seen a few of his earlier ones but this is a cracker in amazing weather:

Just out of curiosity I looked up the price of one. They're quite spendy! But in that sort of weather and landscape, I can really see the attraction.

That was really cool ! - especially following progress on a second screen in Google Earth Sat

Meh... Sure you could get one on Temu cheap. While the rotor stays attached it'll be fun 🤣

Fortunately autogyros are quite a lot simpler than helicopters so that isn't particularly likely.  Still possible, but not likely.

My mum bought me a flight experience in one for m'y Christmas. Went out from Perth airport. It was great fun! Highly recommend trying it!

Sounds good. I went out in a glider from Connel one evening. Another evening went by plane from Salen (Mull) to Plockton and back. Both were brilliant.
