2 minutes video: Gyrodyne build and test ,, Gyrodyne/AutoGyro are not helicopters. They runs on different principles. The main rotor off of Geraldyn has no power. The main rotor act like a wing of an airplane.
@Zaineman Lol it dips into the water. So I cut the video early. This is a nasty little guy - hard to control and spin sometime. I will post it when it can fly decently (at least).
Ah oh oops I'm going in the drink ! Someone yell "Cut" ..... Lol Z ;) Seriously though, I like how you used the main rotor as a wing. It looks like the aircraft is still trying to spin. I can't remember the aeronautical term for that phenomenon.
