Say "Hello" to the Xenon Gyroplane…

KITPLANES’ own Amy Laboda took up the opportunity to fly something new in rotorcraft and put to use her gyro rating with a turn in the new Xenon gyroplane during a visit to Sun ‘n Fun’s Chopper Town Friday evening. And from hearing her assessment after the 30-minute demo, we figure she liked it. And designer Rafael Calier shows off his pride in his work by signing the fuselage of his Rotax-powered creation—something he says he does with everything he designs. OEMs take note. “Signature” experimental aircraft might just have a place in the community, we think.
