Hello!
For fun I decided to modify my Midge helicopter into an autogyro, please forgive the rough edges, I made this for fun moreso than design!
Instructions
- AG1 for pre-rotation, use for 10 seconds
- Immediately throttle up and take off!
- Controls are same as a plane
- The throttle adjusts itself to maintain its VNE
hope you enjoy!
