Autogyro V.1

A basic autogyro built with the new rotor parts. Sadly the new rotors aren’t affected by wind or this would takeoff alot more realistically. To takeoff, throttle to 100% and wait for the rotor to spin up. When the rotor is spining quickly, move the VTOL slider up for the rotor to pitch up. It can takeoff without 100% throttle but it takes quite a while.

Creative. There aren’t many autogyros on the site. Happy to see another one being made. Keep up the good work.
Just tried that and it didn’t make a difference with wind, still didn’t spin. @asteroidbook345
