storage and transport of autogyro
 

Howdy gyronuts
Just finished my first autorgyro (A of A--C4), but have not had a chance to test fly. Just wondering how to store it and transport. Does everyone take rotor off (center bolt) to store and transport? Do you just fold the blades to fit storage area and transporting. Since it has been foggy/overcast and no wind in San Diego I have not even attempted to fly. Instructions say to have a good breeze (5-10 mph) to fly. Is that what is common for autogyro flying? Any input for this nube would be helpful.

RE: storage and transport of autogyro
 

Hi Bill - I think the C4 has a 50 inch rotor span(?) I find my largest autogyro (56 inch span) just fits into my Toyota assembled & ready to fly. Nice to have it that way rather than mess about at the field. At home I remove the rotors and hang them on a wall for storage in my garage.
I hope the first flight goes well. A breeze gets the rotors spinning for flight, if handlaunching (as I generally do) the plane should tug upwards & backwards before you let go with a forwards throw.
