get a big enough tank for an 800 mile hop... chicago to vegas in one stop! just need good tunes for the long flights! my first flight was a piper cub 31 years ago, autogyros are safer, i love lower/slower flights, enjoy the scenery :)
How fast? Is it a Littlewing (2) or Pitcairn pa22? LW site doesn't list a rotax 503 as a engine choice, so is it lighter than a typical LW? Get to build everything of a ac but the tedious wings. Smart!
Good morning GyroGerald, I'm from Brazil and passionate about gyrocóptero .... I was in love with her ... it was you who built it? ..... There is a plan or design to achieve and build one like yours? ... ..Parabéns for its gyro .... good flight
This is great ! What a great way to re-purpose an air frame into something new but again old as in nostalgic .
Airframe isn't re-purposed.......it's a Little Wing Autogyro airframe.
We miss ole’ Fred ! Gone west unexpectedly. His drive and determination at his age was great to witness !!
In my old age I may just have to build one of those .
It oooozes stability and safety. Awesome craft.
Loved everything about this video
I love these things! I'd like to get one! I'm sure you could put a Subaru EJ20T in this beast!
Fred is running a Rotax 503 on his Little Wing.
Yes...the suspension is bunge cord....just like many certified aircraft such as Piper Cubs.
503cc? Hell that thing probably goes faster than my old Yamaha SR500 "the dancing ant" ever did.
Amazing! Looks like a lot of fun.

Nice Video Thanks. I have been waiting to see this one in action. Do yo know what type and size engine he is using? Thanks again for the video.
They look so nostalgic. How's visibility compared to the pushers? Does LW have plans for a two-place version?
Yes. Most made are

Ron Herron sells nice plans for his creation online
Nice machine nice to see another north carolinian
muy interesante un autogiro con profundidad.
Não é
profundidade , é apenas trim
Only thing I don't like about this is visibility issues...but it flys very nice.
Vizibility looks fine to me unobstructed side vision and over the nose seems ok
Muito bom ! Prefiro autogiros no estilo antigo !
I get it, but I still find it a bit unlovely.
The gestapo took away my picture. So much for truth and the American way.
