    RC Gyrocopter

    Hello everybody, I'm Jasper and I'm 17 years old and I come from Europe (Belgium). For my thesis I want to make a radiocontrolled autogyro or a gyrocopter. We want to equip this model with a FPV system and a GPS system (for mesuring the speed of the model). I have never done FPV, so it will be...
