RC Autogyro Robbe /Schluter Whopper MVC Crash

[@pathall6876]

That looks great. I wish they were still available

Wouldn't the prop in front of plane interfere with the normal upflow of air into the rotors? Seems all the extra air flow from the prop would alter the flying characteristics

It’s an AUTO GYRO - the physics were all worked out in the 1920’s !

[@chrismofer]

if anything the prop helps by spinning up the rotor.

Hello Jeroen. Nice flight. It appears that you are using an electric motor instead of an IC engine. If so, which one and which battery are you employing? And also, are those blades the standard ones for the Whopper (around 7,5 cm wide)? Thank you

Thank you for your comment! I used to fly my Robbe Autogyro with an OS 15 cc 4 stroke engine but I provided this gyro 2 years ago with an electric motor at 6 cells 4000mAh. This combination flies the Autogyro a lot better because you can dose the throttle better and have a lot more power. I use also the standard original wooden blades and these are about 8.5cm wide and it flies very fine with that.

Outstanding electric conversion! I would like to do the same to my Whopper. Can you specify which motor and ESC you used and if the blades length of the blades, too? Are the blades the under cambered originals or the longer replacement blades? @@hondaforza7062
