========================

Autogyros are Good.

========================

So, this thing is built with some insignificant objectives in mind:

1. Makes absolutely no sense in anyway.

(Not that far off)

2. Below 600 Parts.

(Dramatically Failed..)

3. Looks Good.

(I dunno..)

4. Specially suited to pilots that wants to fly neither fix-wing airplanes nor helicopters.

(Gotem.)

========================

Controls:

Landing Gear: Landing gear + Rotor's Angle Of Attack
Trim: Trim (huh.)
AG1: Blinkies
AG3: Rotor Pre-rotator.
Normal airplane controls.

.

Sidenotes:

  1. Extending landing gear will automatically increases the AoA (angle of attack) of the rotor and vice versa. for increased lift and low speed stability and to allow better handling at higher speed.

  2. Activate AG3 until the rotor spin up sufficiently and deactivate AG3 before throttling up for the shortest take off distance.

========================

Anyway, Thank you for your visit, have a nice flight!

========================

I foolishly thought helicopter rotor parts in the game are unable to autogyro, that is until I saw ACEPILOT109's really cute gyroplane.

The rotors are certainly counterintuitive to work with. Tuning the Angle of Attack of the rotor took me quite a while and it is not yet perfect.

But hey, I think it now has a fairly simple and enjoyable flight experience, hopefully those tuning are all worth it.

    Collective control from jump takeoffs and cushioned vertical landings would be nice. Otherwise amazing job.
