EXPERIENCED PILOTS ONLY
The Bensen B-8 is a small, single-seat autogyro developed in the United States in the 1950s.
Tips to fly (very difficult)
- When taking off, throttle to 100%, wait a bit until the gyrocopter moves, and pitch down gently.
- Dont roll or you likely won't recover
- Once it's in the air and stable it flies nice and smooth!
UPDATE: Thank you to everyone that has downloaded and tried my creation. Over 100 downloads!

What are the gyrocopters with gliders? called?
@Treadmill103 I've tried, it's not really possible, physics model just doesn't work for gyrocopters.
This isn't really a gyrocopter but still cool
Wow I would be scared to fly this in real life XD
