The 'General' approaching this aircraft on the second picture looks very scared.

I did my best to unfark the photo.

Hey, Triton! What a discovery! I've always loved autogyros, and this project was unknown to me.

Any chance of posting scans of those pages?

Good work Scott with the 3 view - thanks!

Enjoy the Day! Mark

My guess, since the photos seem to have been copied off of an ebay listing, would be "no."

HA HA HA !! Artistic Fail !!

He's not scared, he's shielding his face from the downwash from the rotors...
BUT... the rotors aren't turning, 'cos it's an autogyro....


cheers,
Robin.
