Default Recommendations for first autogyro.

I'm looking to build my first autogyro. Preferably a single rotor, pusher design. I have an AXI 2820/12 that I would like to use for power. Any suggestions?

Bipe Flyer,

I only know of one pusher Autogyro. Although it does fly OK. I would not think it would be a first Autogyro.. Not sure how much power the AXI puts out but the PT series of Autogyros from FlyingBalsa.com are excellent first Autogyro's.

Thanks. That looks like a good one.

The AXI puts out the power of a .25, but with a larger 11" prop.

I'd actually prefer to build from plans rather than a kit.

Bipe Flyer,
I like to build from plans also, but if you want to be sucessfull BUILD a PT-25, then when you understand how they work, then try to roll your own.
Flyingbalsa.com has converted all theres to electric. Check it out. There sucess is atriuted to the head and blades.
Your choice.

Hi,

I'm using the AXI 2820/12 on the PT25. Good match.
