    Lovely machine to fly but you got to keep your eyes on it when flying like your grandpa says. Great to see he is engoying his autogyro!

      They are really cool! Something different something you don’t see every day and he has always been actuated with the auto Gyro and he has tried several times and never got a successful takeoff the landing, and today he did to takeoff and landing very excited for him.

      My grandpa got me flying when I was a little kid. Something we have always done together. Unfortunately as you get older and life takes over I don’t get to go to the field with him as often as I used to so cherish the moments I do.

    that's a pretty good test of your piloting skills, I've seen lots of videos of the hobbyking auto gyro, most people just crash them. btw it sounded like someone was trying to shoot it down thought I heard gunshots in mid video....lol 😆

      I have seen a bunch of flight videos on this thing and everybody has been crashing them lol they are very different to fly not the easiest thing! Grandpa loves the auto gyro and got some great flights. You heard correct! There is a shooting range about a half a mile away from the right side of my field.

    I've always wanted to try one of those. It looks a little difficult to fly.

    I always had to hand start my main rotor, as I didn’t have a “pre-rotator”. Had quite a few ground loops too!😂

      The auto start on this thing sucks! Lol he has gone through like six years. They just cracked at the hub and then start skipping on the shaft. He is designing a new head for it that will allow a motor to be directly against another gear to spin the rotor up before takeoff.

      We were trying to make it as realistic as possible, lol we have a shooting range about a half mile away the military uses and they have big guns! So it is very loud when they are there practicing

    I think the problem with your initial take off was that it’s missing an Xnova Lightning 4025. Problem solved!🤣😂

      It sure does! And it is very hard to video because my phone kept trying to auto focus with no clouds in the sky lol we have a shooting range that the military uses to practice on the right side of our field. About a half mile away. They are using big guns!

    The scariest thing is that people actually fly in real ones. He flew it great , but to me they are just a bad idea and too many compromises. A combo that creates a bad flying plane and a bad flying helicopter.
