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!
