Across the USA by Gyrocopter

In 2009 we from Remedia are planing a journey across the American Continent via Gyrocopter in search of new medicines!

Our goal is on one hand, to visit various botanical gardens, zoos and animal farms, to gather new and also forgotten remedies to incorporate in our homeopathic medicines, on the other hand, to cross this continent with two MT-03 Gyrocopters for the first time!
