Tractor Gyroplanes

Tractor Gyroplanes
In the beginning of rotary-wing flight there were autogyros. Great names such as Juan de la Cierva and Harold Pitcairn reigned, and the machines, well, they looked a little bit like the newfangled aeroplanes that were plying the skies at the time. Do you have a similar project? This forum is deticated to those who are interested or have projects underway such as the Little Wing and the Pitbull autogyros.
