Hi guys !
I built a perfectly functional autogyro with no mods needed and no gyroscope. It flies really well and can land vertically.
HOW TO FLY IT :
1 : Go full throttle.
2 : Press 2 to start the pre-rotator.
3 : Wait about 7 seconds.
4 : Cut the throttle completely and press 2 to disable the pre-rotator.
5 : Press 1 to enable the engine and go full throttle for taking off.
Flight controls are exactly the same as a traditional helicopter.
For the first take-off, I recommend going at about 120 mph before pitching up to lift off. If you have landed and want to lift off again, you can go much slower since the rotor is already spinning quite fast (50 mph should do it).
