Here's a picture of my Wallis autogyro. All this talk about gyros made me get this out last week, knock off the dust and fire it up. It started great, very strong but kicked the prop nut off a couple of times. I cured that problem with a rubber washer. I tried to take-off from the same grass field as in the picture but as you can see, it's full of holes. When I released the teather, the machine moved about 10 feet, flipped on it's side and became a lawn tiller....UUGLLYY. Believe it or not, the only noteable damage was a small chip on the main blade.

To make a longer story short, this machine is a wall ornament until I can get some better resourced on flying it.
