Hey I need some help! I decided to try to mate several types of planes to make a super-plane... you know, synergy... and whatnot.
I wanna make a canard pusher triplane autogyro!
I thought some of you may have experience with a plane like this that could help me out!
Thanks a bunch you guys!
I've got a general layout in me head and I'll try to draw it up to post here.

only if you do it Drew?
Here in Uruguay we don't have much resources for making kits to sell to US.
When it flies to me liking I will provide plans for all!!!!

You're going to need quite a few aileron servos. I hope you can get them cheap in Uruguay

Ailerons on middle wing only, what say you? Not enough power?

is that all 3mm depron? What kind of motor are you running? How is the KE w/ that big heli blade up there. Do you have any videos? I'll bet that thing is fun to fly.

It might work. What are you going to build it out of? I'd look into using some active composites for the wings. They would be light and you could use piezoelectric actuators to induce wing warping on the top and bottom wings.

Unless you want to make piezoelectric wing for me!!!!

Mr. Jacket, I think your idea is very very very complicated! [:'(]

Hmm. You might want to look into thrust vectoring then. It's not as complicated and I think it will increase manueverability.

Thrust vectoring!!! WOW, I like the sound of that! But i fear tailweight will be too much.

Add some lead to the nose. You're wing loading will go up, but I think with a triplane canard autogyro, it won't be a problem.

Hi there brother, nice name...
..you have. Personally I would skip the autogyro "fan" at the top and increase wing area(s) a bit, I think your design is interesting enough without it. Reminds me of the "Bumblebee".
My worry too is your ship will come out tail-heavy unless you pack all the gear(and some lead probably) in the nose or elongate the nose a bit. Keep us posted please and good luck....Cheers/Harald
