Although many of you have already seen this aircraft, and some of you have actually flown it , I still feel compelled to share these photos with those who have not . I am very proud of this ship, she's the flagship of my fleet.
Warmest regards,

It's beautiful. Now how does it fly? Do you have other autogyros to compare it to?

I have had 5 others to compare the Kellet with, and it's the difference between a Ugo compact, and a Cadillac Escalade! The models I am comparing it to are: own design(not to user friendly), Whopper(man what a handfull), C.4- Tillson design(a little tricky), Gyrobee-Tillson design (nice handling), Kombat copter(Piece o sh#@!). The Kellett is very stable, and everything happens slow enough to allow for corrections. The massive size of the model also contributes to stability, and orientation during flight(number one cause for rekitting in my case). I can't say enough positive things about the Kit, the design, and it's designer! It is a builders kit, however, and tends to be a little more expensive depending on how much detail, engine selection, servos ect. but cost aside, it would make a good trainer. It is by far the most stable of my fleet. It's almost more stable than some of my fixed wing models.
Thanks for the comments,

Thanks Mike,

I have seen the Kellett fly and it's beautiful. If Steve is still in business when I get some free time I will have one.

I have a Kellet that flies fine. My problem is after it lands. It wants to keep flying and tips over. How do you stop the blades after landing?? Is there a trick?
