@atgxtg Hahaha XD
@Observer404 Aw. I was gonna give you a good deal, too. You could have had it for cost,
@atgxtg Haha, I would rather go to know some ultralight aircraft, because in the past few days I have been completing it in reality.:D
@Observer404
Well it is a fictional aircraft but...real autogryos cost anywhere from $25,000 to over $150,000 depending upon who makes it and how fancy it is. Something like this with a full HUD would be pricey. But then a real autogryo would have a third wheel to support the weight, and normal instruments along with the HUD so that one fault won't take out the entire instrument panel.
BTW, I've got a few other autogyros I haven't posted publicly if you are interested.
@atgxtg Okay.I see, what might it cost in real life? Or is it just a kind of a civilian-type, fictional aircraft?
@Observer404
Thanks. I did like how this one came out.
Technically it can't be an ultralight, as only fixed wing aircraft fall under the ultralight classification.
This autogyro is very nice! Is it of the ultralight class?
@LonelySea22
LOL! I'll send you a link to my current build. It's still a work in progress but it flies.
@atgxtg probably the best part of "You Only Live Twice"
@LonelySea22
Glad you like it. BTW does "Little Nellie" ring a bell?
This is awesome! Love an autogyro
I’m glad at least someone got to appreciate
@WinsWings
Thanks. As for the neglect, well autogryos just are not very popular around here, probably because most people don't know what they are, and just take them for being helicopters. There were only four entries in the Autogyro Challenge, and only half of those were actual autogryos.
Very beautiful one. Sorry it is too much neglected.
