Please read descripton. The Autogiro was an early helicopter-ish design that used a large tilted prop on top that, when going fast enough, would spin (like a helicopters blades) and provide lift for the craft. This tech is still used today in designs by the same name. I suggest you fly on anywhere from 50, to 70 percent throttle , 60 being the sweetspot. Please give me feedback if you like it!

Interesting! I made this a while ago based on a picture from a book, but I don’t recall seeing another prop on it! I guess I could be this model of it, but I’ll look into it. I’ve been redoing a few planes lately, so maybe that’s a good one to do next @Theguythatfellonearth
Wow good representation! Although typically the autogiros had 3 blades and also one of the back stabilisers would have the end lifted up on order to counteract the blades turning force.
Thanks @AtomicFerret007
Awesome!
