Since these are autogyros and are more fun than any helicopter and fly much better, why should we try to be like a helicopter. I've watched many, many helicopters at model flying fields and for the most part unless the pilot is a real pro all they do is hover, hover, hover then wind up in a ball of twisted parts that are very expensive to replace.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion. However I have 3 gyrocopters and 3 helicopters. They are all fun to fly, none especially more
fun than the other. If all the helicopter pilots do at your field is hover and crash then you have a bad sample of helicopter flyers.
The ones I fly with, including myself, do rolls, loops, fly inverted and backwards. The neat little blade coax helicopter is really easy
to fly and most people can master it in a short time. I don't think there is a need to bash on helicopters just because you like autogyros.
