What makes a Magni so stable and safe to fly?
Specifically, from a flight safety standpoint, we are very impressed with the handling and flight characteristics of the Magni autogyro designs. The Magnis’ exhibit airplane-like control and stability at all flight speeds. The 2-seat models, in standard configuration, are capable of stable and comfortable flight speeds in excess of 100 mph. The single seat M-18, with the optional enclosure, is capable of stable and comfortable flight at 85 mph – limited only by engine power. Surf the specifications web pages. We believe the Magni design is highly resistant to PIO (“Pilot Induced Oscillations”) or PPO (“Power Push-Over” or “bunt-over”). There have been no reports of such events, and these machines are regularly flown at cruise speeds of 100+ mph. At the same time, skilled Magni pilots can demonstrate the superb low speed maneuverability and qualities for which gyros are so popular. The Magni designs are the result of innumerable iterations and flight tests to harmonize the many factors
