Default RE: Wallis Autogyro

Hi Grant,

The autogyro is a Wallis kit made by Micro-Mold back in the 70's. I got it from Bill Friedlander at the Gyro meet here in Spring Hill. Bill got it from a fellow from England so it's been around for awhile.

The head has a swash plate with a flybar which gives it cyclic control. This is my 2nd pusher and once airborne it flies great. Getting in the air seem to be more luck than anything. I'm using a 52 4 stroke and they recommend a 60 2 stoke so I'm low on power. I suspect more power would improve my chances on takeoff.
