if you want to help me making it then please leave a comment under this design what should i do to make the blades spin faster or make it takeoff or not make it wobble like a rollercoaster

Thanks @Verticaldude
@TTHHSSSS thanks nice ultralight btw
I really love the body! I made it into an ultralight and the cockpit view is beautiful!!
@Seabo14 link to the new version it is a bit more tweaked http://www.simpleplanes.com/a/X1PfW6/Gyrocopter-v2
@Seabo14 i know i fixed it and i made colaxial rotors still wobbles and doesnt gain more speed than 60 mp/h im working on the steering now
Great idea, but the wobbling is due to torque and a the rotor pitch problem. The rotors are meant to change pitch oppositely, but you have them on the same axis. This is easily fixed by inverting a rotator. The torque is a harder problem. This can be solved by making it coaxial, by having 2 stacked rotors spinning opposite ways. On real autogyros, they have a small starter motor for take offs and landing. You could use VTOL nozzle tip-jets to make this.
Glad to help,

nice idea but this is more than experimental
