| Experimental Autogyros.
Here is a picture of the Hobbit autogyro with the strange and highly complicated rotor head you mention,despite hours of tinkering this is one that I never mastered,I tried to get in touch with the manufacturers but they had gone bust.
The other picture is of a home brew autogyro which flew well,one thing that you can do is fly these things in a gale with great success,just make sure that you have the rotor masts well anchored,the accident to the DB Gyrace was due to the mast becoming detached in flight,just re-inforce this area.
You just have to experience the autogyro to appreciate the sheer fun that can be had with this type of model,the thrill of those blades fully spinning up and just leaping into the air is something that I will never forget.
Yes next winter I am going to build a replacement.
