MIA AUTOGYRO BE WARNED!!

This model cost over £300 for the cheapest material’s, servos, esc motor, it does not fly at all well and the Guy that builds them has no idea of the design of Autogyro’s, I would not trust him at all, I put this out because I don’t want anyone else wasting their hard earned money on this absolute pile of rubbish!

Nice job..I know that Rich and the boys are very keen to help. I have never seen Mario's work up close but a lot of us have come across him over the years and my advise would be to run as fast as you can away from him, and them wait for him to advise you that he is taking legal action against you. Happy Landings....

Yes, I have changed the design over and over, but still struggling with it, some times it will fly and other times will not, every 3D printed part has broken and I replaced it with carbon, it can only fly in a very and I mean very light breeze, I’m using a stability control on it at the moment had a couple of full battery flights but then just does something strange and falls out of the sky. I have broken one of the blade extenders now, and main mast as it just decided to go in inverted for some reason, oh well back to drawing board 😂

Nice job,my father had a benson autogyro and he told me the horizontal plate under the prop is a rock guard

You’ve done a good job sorting it out!

[@Colin399]

Would love to see it fly👍

[@mark675]

Ah Mario up to his old tricks, he's as Narcissistic as they come, there are no lows he wont sink to! sorry you got pulled in by him but hopefully this warning will help others to avoid him and his crappy models

[@Blacklamass]

Yes mate he promised me he would sort it but then turned on me and ran away with my money he is Mario the 🤡

​@@Blacklamass I was trying to sort things out, by taking your word at face value, but you are not a person of good ethics, and you were all over in emails pulling my decision left and right, complaining about the price, and the color and the model doesn't fly total BS!. When I realized you were pulling mind games, which I know understand why you did that. I offered you several times a full refund but you did not take me up on that offer, because you wanted to keep the model as refence for what you are exactly showing on this video, and on top of it you are so bold to even show on facebook group direct copies of my trademark parts in aluminium. I asked you for videos of flights after the first one you posted showing the model in flight (as all my good customers send me so that I can help them if they have problems) and to see if your post flights what the model was or was not doing and you never produced them, only words, that say the model does not fly, and a bunch of excuses. You sounded uinhappy and no matter what I was going to say or do was going to change your mind. So I offered you a refund again, and you did not take it. The why is now clear as water. How did I take your money and ran away? Explain that to me? PDM!

Looking in from the outside it appears as if you may have purchased a lemon. have you considered starting from scratch and building one of Riches designs...they fly ....

[@Blacklamass]

I’m working on a 4stroke panther as we speak

[@britinozoz]

That a good choice ...nice stable flying machine.

[@Blacklamass]

Yes but I won’t give up on the little one 👍🏻

I really like the changes you've made, it looks gorgeous even with the stock coroplast front fender still there. Regarding the kit itself, I really think it does not make sense for a UK customer/audience. Over here in the states, we don't really have access to any other autogyro kits really, and Mario is a very small time manufacturer. I bought the Turnigy AutoG back when they were still available, as well as the AC-10 autogyro, and I picked up a wood+plans Panther Autogyro kit from a UK store, but state-side...we essentially have nothing aside from MIA. I bought the original Mia 1.0 kit about 7 years ago, back when it was yellow coroplast, square wood chassis, and aluminum bits. About two months ago, I picked up a new version (the old one is starting to get very very worn out), and it is interesting to see the prevalence of 3d printed stuff in his new design. I don't expect the world from such a cheap low-production-volume kit, but...the original has flown for me for almost a decade now. If the current one flies as well, I will be happy with it. Autogyros just don't have the foot print here in the USA they do over there, so, we take what we can get, you know?
