Gyrocopter v2

270 Baconlover51  3.1 years ago

This is the second version of my simple gyrocopter and this time is features a full interior and full VR capability. Controls, #1= Abort system (only use when flying or else it wont work) #2=engine start. VTOL= rotor pitch (at start the rotor is pitched at zero so you have to pitch it before every flight) Flight tips, this is a challenging aircraft to fly because it has no gyros and no powered rotor, so dont do sudden movements. HAVE FUN!!
