GyroCopter plans
Does anyone remember the "GyroCopters" from the 60's and 70's? They were open cockpit copters that used VW engines to push with and free spinning blades on top. My question is...are there any plans for them in RC size? I would like to make a scaled down version but all I seem to find are the full fuselage type.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

GyroCopter plans
Welcome "Shradio",
Yes, the modern-day gyroplane is still very popular among the homebuilt crowd. Currently, there are a couple attempts at full size certified gyrocopters.
There are no r/c pusher "gyrocopter" kits currently being produced but Rick Anderson may have plans available for his pusher design:
