6 people said it was too noisy

I can't understand why there are people who actually disliked it...

Fuck them! We're all tolerant about flying :D

[DevilMaster]

If power pushover is impossible with a tractor autogyro, why does almost everyone sell pushers? Is it just a matter of considering looks more important than safety?

[krakerstaker]

@DevilMaster People sell pushers because that's what people expect an autogyro to look like. Similar to why people dont manufacture pusher aircplanes. Actually the tractor configuration is more safe since it handles more like a conventional aircraft and does not have the nose over or porpoising tendencies that a pusher has. Thats coming from the man who designed the little wing Ron Herron.

does Little Wing sell whole autogyros or only plans and kits?

[mechfx]

Plans only

[captainTubes]

these days they seem to offer pre-welded frames :)

[SCZim]

@adrianrubi Regarding your question of whether Little Wing sells whole autogyros or only plans and kits. They don't sell whole autogyros. But they do sell Pre-welded fuselage frames for about $3,500 plus s/h. Does NOT include control system, rotor, landing gear, rotor mast, tailplanes or engine mount.
