This is a Gyrocopter. A gyro copter is a plane that has an unpowered rotor tilted back and a propeller to move foward. As the plane moves forward, the air pushing against the tilted rotor turns the blades, generating lift as any other airplane wing would. Enjoy! By the way it likes to swerve during takeoff, but still works.
