Proof of concept Gyrocopter.
- Takeoff: Full throttle, VTOL all the way up, pull all the way up.
- Flight: VTOL half way up, fly like a conventional aeroplane.
- Landing is difficult because of the wobbliness bug with rotors. It's capable of landing vertically though :D
Enjoy!
Sorry. Reuploaded because I found the tail wing fell off just after I uploaded it lol.

I Want To Try The Wibbly Wobbly Fuzzy Wuzzy Spinny Wingy ThingyHey! I tried to make one of these! It kinda worked.
OOO BOI AM I SURPRISED
I will be uploading my gyroplane too bb
@ChickensCannotBeEaten np
@Jacobdaniel lol probably and thanks for the advice on the Kansas encampment
@ChickensCannotBeEaten no it's not brutal at all, I've been there before and it's perfectly fine (besides the -14° weather), also I feel like we are spamming jamesPLANESii to much, we should make a private chat or something...
@Jacobdaniel i probably won't go there either, but you might see another cadet from my squadron there. the reason i won't go is because i hear it's absolutely brutal there.
@ChickensCannotBeEaten well if you don't see me at oklahoma wing encampment you will probably see me at kansas winter encampment (if you go there lol)
@Jacobdaniel dang, probably won't go to that encampment, but i'm from Nebraska wing, so only like 2 states above you lol
@ChickensCannotBeEaten oklahoma,
if you go to oklahoma wing encampment you will probably see me
@Jacobdaniel noice, sorry i took so long to get back to you, i've been studying for my wright bros test lately. BTW, just wondering what wing are you in?
Glad to hear it. We actually just had a shooting here in my hometown. A few months ago, a crazy 19 year old walked into a bank and shot 5 women dead. He wasn’t even robbing it. He just killed them and then turned himself in. It’s bad when that kind of thing happens anywhere, but we’re such a small town that it shook us to the core.
.
So I just wanted to say that I feel you; I’ve felt the same kind of shock you’re feeling now. What happened in my town is small compared to what was inflicted on you, but I can still sympathize. Keep strong mate.
@jamesPLANESii
Good @Awsomur
Hey mate. Just saw about the tragedy that happened in New Zealand. How you holding up?
