Little Wing Autogyro
if you'd like to see the real one, check out this website!
Ron Herron was concerned about the problem of pushover fatalities in pusher gyrocopters. He set to develop a tractor layout gyrocopter that also met the FAA rules for ultralight aircraft. A Prototype LW-1 powered by a Continental O-200 engine was soon followed on by the LW-2. The design was influenced by Juan de la Cierva's autogyros. The LW-4 has a two place long frame.

Notes
Watch the rotor on take off and landing, a prop strike is very likely but easy to avoid. also, to land, flare the craft and put the VTOL up to help control your decent.
