[Please read description before flying] Named after the spanish inventor of the gyrocopter this aircraft actually flies in autorotation like a real autogyro. This aircraft still has some minor problems but im still working on it. This aircraft includes a new teetering rotor head allowing the main rotor to freely rotate about its axis, along with flapping hinges to ease stress on the rotor head.
tilt rotor back with trim slider on the right. Activate pre rotator by pressing 2 than deactivate then press 1 to activate engine.
3 to activate rotor brake use with VTOL slider on the left.
80-83% power for cruise or gradual takeoff
120-138 MPH landing and takeoff speed
use power to control altitude
AVOID LOW G CONDITIONS!
AVOID ABRUPT TAKEOFFS!
AVOID PUSHING FORWARD IN FLIGHT!

@VIRGADYNAMICS ok ill retry.. but yeah regardless very cool
@TwinStarIndustries you have to set the rotor back fully with the VTOL slider on the right and the airflow should catch the main rotor
nice mechanics1 i couldnt get it to fly :/
Really Impressive! @Baconaircrafts you should really see this
