great video great autogyro are there any in the uk i want to have a flight in one i got the bug last year after seeing? little nellie being flown as in the james bond film by a guy in norfolk called ken wallace i didnt realise how simple a concept it was someone told me years ago it was like a helicopter but with a rear prop when ken explained i saw the light if you can respond to me please do

@superesonator This bothered me a lot too, and I did some digging around and found that there was a "hydraulic clutch that allowed for the main propeller to connect by gears to the large rotor temporarily, bringing the main rotor up to speed, but then was immediately released for? the remainder of flight." ;) hope this helps.

@Theriomalstrom The rotor can be started by pressurized? air from nozzles at the wing tips I think.

Are they pre-spinning the rotor for short takeoffs? They don't show any take? off roll at all.

@THENAGANTMAN What happened? seems like a good product. just because of one crash it ended? I do think? it would be a nice RC if not full size model. Thanks for sharing. PS is this a mix with a gyro copter?

@THENAGANTMAN CAPS? LOCK IT'S CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.

I was just wondering, if the rotor blades was half the length, but? there was 4 instead, would it work? Or do they have to be as long as they all are right now?

@THENAGANTMAN Heliplane LLC will make 18As once? their finances are secured by other projects. Nothing is over until its over!

THE PILOT IN THIS VIDEO WAS JOHN POTTER, THIS WAS THE 18-A BUILT IN PADUCAH KENTUCKY BY FARRINGTON AIRCRAFT. OWNED BY DON FARRINGTON, THE COMPANY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS IN 2001? AFTER DON DIED FOLLOWING AN ACCIDENT AT THE LAKELAND FLORIDA AIRSHOW. I WAS DONS CHIEF PILOT, IT WAS AN INTERESTING AND CHALLENGING POSITION. I WAS SORRY TO SEE IT END...

@2koreahawaii It always seems to be ex-aeroplane? pilots and ex-airforce pilots who kill themselves with porpoising. If you learn gyros ab initio you would be fine.

Reminds me of a quote, "If the wings travel faster? than the fuselage I don't trust it" xD Naw I trust most helos. Got to ride in a black hawk, thing is huge and I never felt afraid of it crashing. I dunno what do you guys think?
By: superesonator. on 05 Aug 10, 08:37:25
@dynmicpara understood! cheers.?
By: rebecca81964. on 02 Aug 10, 18:49:58
cool!!?
By: dynmicpara. on 24 Jul 10, 21:49:25
@2koreahawaii Robinson helos still need their parts to be constantly rebuilt. Not cheap. The point of this video is to develop a MILITARY autogyro that? is FAST and AFFORDABLE.
By: dynmicpara. on 24 Jul 10, 21:33:33
@YaoiMastah? UAVs are not cheaper when they CRASH OFTEN.
By: dynmicpara. on 24 Jul 10, 21:32:21
@notthistimenet By posting this video we keep? the CONCEPT alive so someone can offer it commercially.
By: dynmicpara. on 24 Jul 10, 21:31:36
@superesonator I agree with you, you make? a valid point; hence I approved your post. I didn't edit the video; it's of the audience-has-no-attention-span-sell-them mindset. I'm like you wanting to know the details. It's what I was given to share.
By: superesonator. on 24 Jul 10, 04:53:30
Something's missing. "Here's the 18A in action" then there is video missing. It goes from stationary rotor blades and jumps to fully spinning? blades and take-off. An auto-gyro is supposed to spin up by forward momentum and wind resistance. If you edit this out we have no idea of the actual takeoff properties or the amount of runway needed for takeoff.

@dynmicpara How much do Autogyros? cost?
By: notthistimenet. on 31 May 10, 23:33:06
this company hasn't produced anything for years and? is dead in the water. too bad, this looks like a good commuter
By: bangmeister. on 14 Apr 10, 04:17:56
I wish I was a? millionare I would totally buy one
By: Ralroost. on 05 Apr 10, 03:17:25
Have they ever built dual rotor gyrocopters,? like with the F-223 layout?
By: liOVERLOADil. on 19 Mar 10, 23:32:48
Because that's what? this is.
By: frankensteinmoneymac. on 15 Mar 10, 06:42:37
@spitfireJEJ I had to look up a picture of the Umbaugh on the net......and ya know what? ....it looks like this "heli-plane" is just an exact carbon copy of the Umbaugh!!! I dont think I could tell the difference between em side by side. I guess this isnt exactly a novel, new aircraft then....but still pretty cool though...and probably quite effective! A new design would maybe be more impressive, but I guess they figured why go to the trouble when they could just remake a tried? and true design.

Looking at some of the? texts here, there seems to be a lot of negative comments ,IE:did nobody see how superbly it was flown? this is an auto gyro not a Helli but could nearly be flown like a Helli,I thought it was superb and flown so professionally.
