It's a beauty!

Absolutely stunning aircraft!

I've always had a soft spot for autogiros.

Thanks for sharing.

Salute,
Steve

It flies nice, mostly similar to a normal 1930s airplane, but you have to be very careful landing, since you lose control effectiveness. It has no crosswind capability. If you have any drift at touchdown you can tip it over, which is bad....

Jack Tiffany & I grew up in the same neighborhood. Jack & my oldest brother built & flew model airplanes together.
