Autogyro ( Not what you get from a Post Office!) 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
Hi,
Does anyone fancy building a model autogyro this winter? If so look at www.whirlybirdaviation.com

The autogyro in question is a DAG R1,R2 etc .
You can build a basic profile bodied model up to a pukka 1930’s scale’ish autogyro

I have tried to e-mail the designer to find out how to obtain the plans? But the e-mail button crashes my computer!!!

There is plenty of info on r/c type forums. You will require a gearbox, which hopefully is available from Fanfare at £16.00. (Master Airscrew 500 gearbox).
So to sum up I am still searching for plans. All help would be appreciated
Richard.

Hi Mark,
Whoops , I missed the auction but I would be interested to know how you get on. Maybe we could set a trend and have a fleet of autogyros!
Of course mine would have to be IC!!

I hope the picture will up load
Well all this weather is good news for the building board; this is my direct control (no elevator or rudder)”sparky”autogyro from a Traplet plan.
Come on Richard you have so catching up to do.

Hi Mark,
I can see I will have to put my money where my mouth is . I have been side tracked onto other projects.
Logos ,Slope soaring and general repairs.
Plus I hope to build my own design 1930's style IC plane over the winter months.So the auto-giro has
fallen by the wayside
It would be good if next year we had a pair of auto-giros flying round together.
Richard.
