I beleive this is one of the first working autogiros on the site...
An Autogyro is a type of glider or plane that instead of wings it uses unpowered rotors to gain lift they usualy have a pusher engine but that would be impossible in the game in real life autogiros are very stable and have extremely low stall speeds some of only 10mph!!!
WARNING TO PILOTS:
This is extremely hard to land and has a very slow climb rate at low speed it has a stall speed of 20mph
CONTROLS/HOW TO FLY
Throttle 5% and move VTOL forwards then throttle up to 20-30% wait until the rotors have spun up on the ground and then (pitch is inverted for ease of use) pull pitch forwards! Up up and up then Ypu can pull VTOL to centre or whatever you want it acts as a pitch trim :) YAW will move the rotors left and right for small turns and the roll uses the rotors to roll

THIS HAS A SLIGHT ROLL STABILITY ISSUE ITS JUST A MK.1

THE WINGS HAVE NO CONTROLL SURFACES ON THEM AND ARE JUST FOR STABILITY ONLY IG YOU TAKE THEM OFF THE GYRO WILL SPIN IN THE AIR AND GO OUT OF CONTROLL! (That's not cheating the rotors provide all main lift)

    @PlanesOfOld I just got it to fly by using 100% throttle, and yes I am on low settings because my device can't handle medium or high quality.

    @PlanesOfOld lol 5 hats why I used the qualifier heli "based" plane. I saw one of these bring rebuild on a re run of salvage squad on TV. Very cool indeed

    This ain't a heli @hypnotoad all you need is somthing for the air to turn (RCN nosslz) and two layers of FLAT bottom wings and have them on a controll base sutch as this... The rotors don't provide any thrust they are just rotating wings so the plane can fly as slow as possible! (Make hypnoplany that goes 1mph)
