Default RE: Rotodyne autogyro

I think the full size Fairey Rotodyne was a true autogyro when in forward flight, the tip thrusters being used for take off & landings only. So it was a part time helicopter that coverted to a true autogyro. In model form therefore as an autogyro it would be fine. Interesting machine thats promising future was cut short.
