[motorbikemike]

I second that. I'd eventually like to build a Benson-ish type gyro, the older styled airplane type fuse with a rotor aren't as appealing to me. Different strokes. ;)

But not quite this large...

MIke, do you have experience with Autogyros?

If not I HIGHLY suggest you build and "toy"with a tractor style Gyro First.

Pushes are VERY tricky and not a good first Gyro.

None what so ever, so thats why I said eventually, as in a goal to work towards.
I've read up a bit on them at autogyro.com, good resource.

Mike (umrk),

Thats ok, Your reply fit what I was going to post word for word. and that 1/3 benson-ish idea was exactly what I had in mind. same thing buy maby .60 size and sporting a TT raptor canopy. seems like a fun prodject that would turn some heads and envoke a few "what the xxxx's" at the ole heli field.

I think I have printed every page from autogyro.com and read most of it at least twice.

Thanks for the tip on the "toy" I think I might just order one tonight.

Ok... I thought the "toy was arizonas profile kit. guess I was wrong. what is the "toy" and where can it be found?

[umrk]

Which one are you thinking about ordering, Mike?

I've read a lot of AGcom, but I havent gotten my head wrapped around it all yet. I'd prefer to scratch build a proven design from plans first few times... well... as close to following plans (or even a kit) as I usually do. It seems they all need some tweezing to suit me. :D

the other mike ;)

I think he's using TOY as a general term for hobby flying unit. ;)

hahah I meant "toy" with it.. or Fiddle with it.. Much with it.. more properly.. Experiment with it. To learn waht causes what, whats good/ bad ect ect...

lol

[motorbikemike]

Sorry... I read through to fast. I thought I read (A) toy not (and) toy. oh well. At first I thought that was a goofy name for a gyro any way, even thogh Vario makes a heli called the "toy". I guess I just got my wires crossed.

For some plans check out RCM.

You will have to search a bit but there are some plans listed there of proven Gyro designs. I always recommend starting with a proven design.

As soon as mine is finished and flying well I will make the planes available.
