Well done, all the hard work pays off even if it flies for a few minutes, it makes it worth it. Keep Flying

Finally it flies, I didn't believe it anymore. Bravo

Congrats on your successful flights.

Great flight in the end well done for persevering with it. From what I've seen on line the hang angle should be approx 16°-18°. Also only use one fixing point on each blade like a helicopter that way you will reduce damage to the blades if it goes wrong. By doing this on my HK Auto G I have saved the blades may a time. Good luck.

1 Mississippi of no tail rotor sucked!!! Nice build!!!

I would have gone with 6 deg's seems the perfect medium.

Many crashes but you dont desist ... !!! Top Of the TOP

never give up👍

Perseverance always pays off, bravo to you for the courage and the time spent, me after two or three crashes I would have put everything in a box 😎😂depuis j'espère que tu as travaillé l'atterrissage 🥴😎

Hello. Congratulations on your successful big pusher. I was wondering what the small box attached to the rotor mast is. Is that a rate gyro for enhancing stability? If so, is it for roll, pitch or yaw stability, or all three axis?

Hi Emilio, thanks. The box is actually the electronic ignition unit for the engine. I put it there to keep it away from the receiver in case of interference. It doesn’t have a gyro. Thanks for watching👍

mash Ebi there are different positions for centre of gravity depending on what type of autogyro you have. My CG is just in front of the thrust line of the rotors and just below the thrust line of the motor. As you can see in the video it took some finding:)

Congrats man, your hard work got success.... But your disk loading seems too high....

The properties of aero forces do not lend themselves to exact scaled response across sizes of say Insects to model airplane to man-carrying scales. I happened to have access to a very complete sets of model airplane magazines from the fifties in the sixties. SCALE and how to achieve “scale” to a model’s performance was a BIG question - allowances had to be made......

Rotors needs to be trimmed to reduce torque

One thing I learned quickly is not to use too much up elevator on takeoff. It made all the difference.

Zero Negativity I agree. My successful launch eventually pretty much took off itself. Thanks for watching.

You put winglets on the rudder that’s not the rudder No wonder you crash it you gotta use that right writer on take off will you be building more rotor blades?

It looks like you put a lot of work into building it. How long did it take to build?

@corbett109

It only took about 15 evenings to build but it took several attempts to fly. Each failed attempt costing a couple of evenings of rebuilding. I probably spent the same amount of time on the videos as I did building it.😁👍

would be nice if you put a camera on board ,

I fly real gyros like this so i love to see rc models of gyros. A couple of things that ive been thinking about that might or might not help. Gyros are VERY stick free stable but almost neutral stability in stick fixed stability. That is dont touch and they want to fly in a stable fashion. Servo motors mean you are always flyimg stick fixed. We fly with largely with pressure rather than big movments most of the time. So im wondering if you had like somewhat flexible linkage you might achieve more control. The other simple thing is because gyros have very high cg we generally 3 degrees downthrust on the motor. Those that dont require a pitch change everytime power is applied. Lastly with wood rotors like all wings chord wise balance is important. Normally 25 % but i have fliwn on wood rotors that were slightly overbalanced (nose heavy) you cant go too far or you will get weave but these were a bit over they were rock solid boring even. You xould try that. Good luck.

Hi Cameron, thanks for watching and loving the suggestions. I will build a set of blades with the cg more at 25%. My last blades were more around 33%. 👍

@@corbett109 no worries aft balance 33% of you fly too much tail weight they become twitch like balancing a broomstick on the end of your finger. A little forward is more stable too much and they become unresponsive. Im not sure to what extend the blades scale in behaviour but its a pretty big model so you are probably seeing some of the same behaviours. Your wheel balance is really important to. I used to fly a direct drive VW Bensen style gyro. I could get off in half the distsmce of many at my club with lighter more powerful gyros. I used to put it down to superior training and technique but one bloke was having trouble getting airborne in 500m and it was a light gyro. Couldnt work it out check head angles all sorts then i saw his parked next to mine his nose was on the ground. Mine was sitting on the tail until id get in. I lifted his nose and it was damn heavy. It dawned on me his axle was several inches further back than mine. So my blades would lift the nose sooner. This gave an extra 3 or 4 degrees on the disk. You then bring the nose forward but that extra few degrees makes a huge difference in time to wind up. I could get off between 1/2 and 1/3 these guys take off run. Little things make a huge difference. The downthrust is really important too. Easy to adjust id imagine. Again not sure how applicable this all is on a model gyro. Somewhat i imagine but flexability of rotors extra is probably not exactly the same.

Ya stalled it on takeoff with a very steep angle of attack!!! Thats a nice lookin gyrocoper model! Could you please explain to my how the flight controls work to make it fly??? Are your main rotor blades set at a "pre-fixed pitch" or can ya adjust them like on the collective pitch of a helcopter??? Begine your pre-rotation of your main rotor blades & ger them up to speed before ya start your rolling takeoff. Disengage the pre-rotater this go go for it

@corbett109

Hi Rodney, thanks. The blades are fixed at around -1 degree. The head of the autogiro tips left and right for roll and the forwards and backwards for pitch (up and down). There is a rudder for yaw control. You are spot on with the takeoff procedure.👍 The steep angle of attack was induced by the auto gyro incorrect balance point. I was unable to control the autogiro at any point with the failed launches even by putting in full down, that’s my story anyway 😆. Thanks for watching👍

That take off looks all to familiar :-( I think you need to put rubber damping in the head to limit the amount of teeter that it has and I can't answer the question of how much teeter. I am at about the same stage as you figuring it out on my own sucks. Did you pull it off of the ground ? I made these comments as I watched the video maybe I should have waited LOL

Hi John, I’m pretty sure all my crashes were due to Center of gravity. Horizontal not vertical. Good luck with yours👍

I have been flying for 40+ yrs. it’s always better to stand at the side and not behind the plane for maiden flight. Too many reasons to state here.

Somehow, after the maiden/ crash.. I felt an urge to say "Nugget" "my pukcell" and "1 Grit"... Very nice project, for the maiden the headspeed was too low.. but you already know that. Most autogyro crashes are caused by this, best case it just tips over, worst case... death. Not on RC though, which is a pro.

You have used by FAR to much power on your pusher motor and the rotor has much to high pitch!
