Auto Credit Based on Swag777's Bensen B8 Gyrocopter
The Bensen X-25A is a small, single-seat autogyro evaluated by the United States Air Force in the 60's. The idea was to pack this inside of a real jet, and when the pilot ejected he could control himself through the X-25A.
Tips to fly (very difficult)
- When taking off, throttle to 100%, wait a bit until the gyrocopter moves, and pitch down gently.
- Dont roll or you likely won't recover
- Once it's in the air and stable it flies nice and smooth!
