Default RE: New Gyro

Hi Joel - You are giving me some ideas! Several years ago I built the fuselage and tail of a Gyrace, but then abandoned the project as my interest is in single rotor autogyros. However I could do what you have done as it looks good! I see you have modified the rudder/fin shape to give clearance to the rotor blades and added end plates to the stabiliser to maintain vertical tail area. The elevator I presume does function so only side tilt is required on the rotor?
Four channel I presume, does it take off OK?
Nice to have a flying site at your home, mine is 15 minutes away so that`s not to bad I guess.
