Experience the thrill of flying in a gyrocopter but without the buffeting of the wind on this 15 minute flying lesson at Rochester Airport near Chatham in Kent. The Cavalon is a unique model in that, unlike other gyrocopters, it's a closed cockpit, which is wider and means you'll be enjoying a side-by-side flight with your instructor. But, this is better, because it means you've got a more unobstructed view of the controls so you can see what they're doing more clearly. And, because the Cavalon is dual control, you'll also get to take control and fly this amazing autogyro yourself, at a CAA approved PPL training school - making it the ideal place for those budding pilots looking to obtain their licence.
