• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

This thing is pretty cool! It's a German MTO Sport, build by Auto Gyro GmbH: http://www.auto-gyro.com/en/Gyrocopter/Gyrocopter/

According to the owner it only needs 50 meters for take-off once the Rotax engine spins up the rotor to 200 rpm, and can land vertical. It's made from carbon fibre and fibre glass around a steel chassis.

Yep, €44,000 euro (Without taxes) is quite affordable!

(Not for me though, so if anyone's willing to do an Fs model.. :kilroy: Nudge nudge, wink wink.. ;) )

Edit: FsX pilots might recognize the Aircreation ultra light standing next to it!
 
+1 for an FSX model. :)
