AutoGyro for FSX/P3D ideas

Just idea for ours producers :). Not many Auto-Gyro for simulators.

It looks like a good proposition of addon for low and slow/VFR, for small but detailed sceneries...

There were a couple of neat autogyros/gyroplanes in FS2004, both produced by Unreal Aviation. One was a representation of Ken Wallis' "Little Nellie" which was the aircraft used in the Bond film "You Only Live Twice" (poster above), and a fictitious, retro style autogyro called the "Bushman" that employed a radial engine in a tractor configuration to provide forward thrust and a pair of angled, inter-meshing rotor blades for lift. Both were fairly nimble in FS and a lot of fun to fly NOE. I'd love to see someone try to re-create the Bushman in real life as it's such a great looking little ship...

Click to expand...

I think you'll find that Little Nellie was my model, nothing to do with Unreal Aviation,
I was in the process of upgrading the model to current standards (complete with TacPack!) but at this stage I'm not sure if it will be completed.

Autogyros, etc.

Actually, Unreal Aviation did another aircraft which they called the Gyrodyne. Overhead rotor, and pusher props on the ends of the wings. I believe it's still available at Hovercontrol.com
