My challenge entry for the Civillian Plane Challenge. When you get to around 70mph activate group 1. Be VERY gentle when pitching up at takeoff.
The Ford Hoplite was the first autogyro produced by the Ford Corporation, as a response to the increasing frequency of air pirate raids. Heavily armed for a civilian autogyro, the Hoplite has become the vehicle of choice for security-concious companies everywhere. The Hoplite was adapted into an Empire State Taxi aircraft.
Credits to @PlanesAndThings for the control of the heli prop.

Thanks @RedBeard66
Thanks @Grant19 :)
Amazing
@JovianPat thanks for the info :)
@bobthetitan123 Thanks :) Andrew once said that high physics is the only option available on windows versions. Changing to low physics doesn't seem to do anything.
I took out the low physics thing in the desc. @JovianPat
@JovianPat ok. Good luck in school
@bobthetitan123 hmm I'm kinda busy with school projects and stuff so probably not. Sorry :(
@JovianPat I made a crimson skies challenge! Wanna join?

I actually tested this on high physics (since I'm on Windows) and it works just fine. I tried flying it anywhere on the map and I still couldn't find Ulysses Boothe.
Thanks @Dynimerous

Thank you very much @Delphinus :)
@BACairlines the one I made is not an autogyro, but in crimson skies it is.
Easy to control. But this not an autogyro.
@JovianPat @SkipperBing here is a better version.
