Does any one out there have info on designing a successful pusher autogyro. I understand how to do a tractor config but I am not sure about a pusher!! :confused:

The Gyronuts website had a lot of excellent design info on this very topic, but that site is no longer active.
The info may have been transferred to the autogyro.com site. Do an extensive search there. If no luck, contact me.

Mickey's thread titled; 2 bladed pusher flies! is a place to start here.

Perhaps if the author of "Busted Blades" & other fine autogyro research from a couple of years ago is still reading these posts, he could re-issue his writings here for the benefit of others.

He provided excellent work on pushers, plans too.

I searched at autogyro.com but could not find the nfo there.

Hoping,

Hi,

I built my first autogyro last summer and it flew surprisingly well.
It was a pusher.
I built mine based on the "busted blades" series and the average specs provided here:

You can get more info (sorry german) and pictures of my "Monster" here:

if you have specific questions I am happy to answer them in english.

best wishes

Georg
