Will someone please tell me where I can get some plans to make an autogyro. I would like some basic plans for a 1 or 2 seat autogyro.

Why not just do a search on Google?

I tried and only found ones for models. I can't always use a computer so I thought I'd just ask on some forum. It's better to have ideas from more than one person anyway.

1. What is an autogyro?

An autogyro is a type of aircraft that uses unpowered rotating blades to generate lift, similar to a helicopter. However, unlike a helicopter, an autogyro does not have a powered rotor and instead relies on forward motion to turn the blades.

2. What materials are needed to build an autogyro?

The materials needed to build an autogyro can vary depending on the specific design and plans being used. Generally, materials such as aluminum, wood, fiberglass, and various mechanical components are used.

3. Is it difficult to build an autogyro?

Building an autogyro can be a challenging and time-consuming task, especially for someone without prior experience in aircraft construction. It requires a good understanding of aerodynamics and mechanical engineering principles.

4. Can I fly an autogyro without a pilot's license?

In most countries, a pilot's license is required to fly any type of aircraft, including an autogyro. Some countries may have specific regulations for flying experimental aircraft, but it is always best to check with local aviation authorities before attempting to fly an autogyro.

5. Where can I find plans and instructions for building an autogyro?

There are various resources available for finding plans and instructions for building an autogyro, such as online communities, aviation magazines, and books. It is important to ensure that the plans and instructions are from a reputable source and have been properly tested and approved for safety.
