Well, I managed to fly that HobbyKing Super-G for the first part of its review:

Trouble is, I wadded it in due to pilot error, hence the bit about "the first part." HobbyKing, a major sponsor of this site and a great bunch of guys to boot, sent me a new Super-G to use in the second part of the review and even a Durafly Auto-G2 for practice!
So, practice I did. The president of the R/C club did the honors of the maiden flight of the Auto-G2 and got it trimmed. I flew the second flight.
Tell you what: Autogyros are definitely not airplanes nor are they helicopters, but let me say that I really learned my lesson with the Super-G. This unusual, exotic model was fun to fly!
Here's the funny thing: The club president had never flown an autogyro prior to yesterday! Still, he did a fantastic job of getting the Auto-G2 dialed in.
I'll be putting in a lot of stick time before proceeding with the assembly and flight of the replacement Super-G. I'm definitely going to add some fluorescent orange and green tape to the fuselage to make it easier to see, even with 20/15 distance vision.
Part two of the review will concentrate on the flight characteristics of the Super-G.
