While a mate was flying his Pico cub at the field, I was wondering if we could make the equivalent thing for autogiros. Something cheap, easy to build, and made of foam.
I thought we could make a "Pico Cub" or "Cessna EP trainer" fuselage and attach with rubbers a rotor system made of lightened plywood, but then comes the problem: how do you make the blades?
Do you think all-balsa blades would work (I just dont want to spend hours making them)? 10:1, 4mm thick Clark Y should work fine IMHO. Please, suggestions and comments are very welcome.
I just can't wait the summer to come and the final exams to go
If I get my hands on a flight pack I'll maybe make a parkflyer/gyro combo.
