seat tank (19 gal), standard electric trim, fuel gauge, Flydat
or EIS engine monitor, airspeed indicator, altimeter, rotor
tachometer, prerotator, rotor brake, wheel brakes, landing

The M16 Tandem Trainer affords many ways to share and enjoy the
passion of un-restrained gyroplane freedom in the unprecedented
safety and aerodynamic stability the Magni gyros are famous for.
Dual-seat share the fun with a companion in comfort and security
with exceptional cross-country speed and range. The tandem configuration
affords efficient and effective training. The M16 has even demonstrated
utility as an agricultural crop sprayer (with Micronair atomizers
and 150 l tank)
