not that hard
I went to the web page ...autogyro.com about 2 years ago. I studied the stuff that is there.
I scratch built ie. no plans from the numbers presented. Ta Da, it worked very well. 1st machine was a "stick" literally for the prototype. dimensions etc. Flew very well first flight. Second machine awhile later about a year, based on those understandings.. took on a new look with the same numbers. Flew even better, and as many have said" it could be seen in flight". These are electric powered Gyros. 3 pounds and 60 inch rotor with single axis DG(that be left or right). Flew the later at the NEAT fair in NY in Sept.
NO bad tendencies and a Blast to fly. Zero wind or alot they do just fine. and No Grease. Do some homework and enjoy the simplicity of a new way to fly RC. Enjoy. www.fayetteflyers.com

Hello Orvy...
Thanks for the encouraging post!! You are right. There is just about everything a person needs to know about autogyros on Jim Baxter's and Rick Anderson's web sites.
Since you folks aren't too far from the Tampa area, let's hope you can make it to the "Autgyros Over Spring Hill, Florida" fly-in on Feb 20-21. It's a great event for those two days, which is followed by the Vintage R/C society fly in on Feb 22-23.
The actual flying field is a the Sand Hill scout reservation on SR 50 (Cortez Blvd.) a bit east of Weeki Wachee Springs.
