It is a true auto gyro, I tried flying with out the rotors and it did not work. I also had one rotor lock up and cause a mean roll that ended this gyro's life.
Just made a New Twirl with 6mm Depron and carbon fiber enforcement and its is much better! could you get a link on how to make a LF rotor in place of the Twirl rotor if you would please.
It flies great!! I wish I had some 3mm to try some 3mm rotors to compare them for you. As far as the air frame goes 3mm would only save a very few grams.
Those things are so awesome! It looks like it gets lift from the wings too which is nice for take offs it seems. I think autogyros have alot of potential.
In a few feet they spin up fast to 230 or so RPMs. I am so used to my helis with 3,000 RPMs that the rotors look slow but they produce most of the lift at that speed and in a little breeze you can hover down and land vertically!
very beautiful

I like it. Cool unique idea for an RC aircraft. Loved the landing, that thing didn't want to leave the air.

is this a true gyrocopter, or is it just an airplane with little fake propellers on top?
nice job anyway. its pretty convincing

Do you have a construction drawing or plans for this auto gyro?

I found the LF rotor and will try it soon, thanks for the 6mm Depron autogyro experience.

I'm interested in buying the plans or outline for this plane.

You can learn to build one at RcGroups in the auto gyro theads

Found it thanks. I'll like to see this Powers style.

was it a good move to make it out of 6mm depron or do you think i would be better off making it with the 3mm?

I just tried my 3mm twirl, the wood dowel broke and the 3mm foam ripped apart, but it went well so I'm going to rebuild with 6mm and carbon rode.
