This is the first gyrocopter I have ever made! It is a little tricky to get in the air, but wen its up it flies fairly well. Pitching down is not very effective. I spent a while on this one, so I hope you enjoy!

    Sorry I didn’t like it. It’s not really a gyro Copter because your main rotor is powered, the fuselage is too short for stable flight. With a few tweaks it will make a great little plane and the styling is a great eye catcher all the best.
