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.
 
Hi, gyropilot,you need to go to Rotary Wing Forum and PRA website lots of info...
BTW,mentone indiana hosts a large gyro gathering next weekend!
 
There used to be tons of autogyro plans in the back of Popular Mechanics.
