Hi Tom . Thanks .
Yes , at this moment I am involved in a new 100 cms length three blades instead of 90 cms . All my large models autogyros fit 90 x 6,5 cms blades but due to the model weight I will try with 100 x 6,5 cms blades . I will send a few pics after checking .

Sherpa,

I was at the Udvar-Hazy National Air & Space museum at Dulles airport yesterday and thought of your project as I photographed the Kellett XO-60. Here are a few photos for you.
