autogyro

Working with foam is fun. So, decided to try an autogyro for something different and found a lot of info on RC Groups(leadfeather). Upside, added flapping blades and it sounded like a real heli, downside, well watch what happens. This is former FT Peter S's transport from RC Groups where he...

If you are looking for something different to build and fly, try an autogyro. Over at RC Groups, there is a section dealing with these and how to build them including the plans. Since I had motors, esc's, lipos, foam for fuse, ordered from Midwest the thin foam and carbon rods needed to make...

A different way of flying. Modified the plans where I had flapping hinges of my own design. First video is learning how to handle it. There is no motor turning the blades. It is the wind. You too can do a loop. Finally got a handle on it. Any thoughts?

I got this Twirl Autogyro kit last March from Lightflite. It's a little interesting, not thrilling. It goes nice and slow, can do loops but that's about it. Here's it's maiden. It likes some down elevator as I found out right off the bat. I haven't flown it much 'cause it's a bit boring.

Do anyone here knows "Crimson Skies" series of the card and computer games? The series is set in alternative-timeline universe, in the 1930's where United States has collapsed and cars were mostly replaced by airplanes and airships. It features plenty of fictional planes of unusual design...

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...
