I might have another “Whirlybird II” somewhere in my other posts, but this is the SGP version. The other one might have been a TW but I’m not sure. Anyway, here’s a yellow autogyro that’s a little much to takeoff, because you have to turn on the VTOL when the aircraft is going 200 mph or more.

Hmm, interesting design. I haven't seen a gyrocopter/autogyro with a pull prop configuration.
