Something Different.

I built this model over 40 years ago,she still survives in my little museum of retired models,she is the American Gyro Comany Gyro AG-4 built in America in the thirties,surprisingly the tissue covering which was salvaged from orange boxes is still intact and the red dope is just showing signs of cracking.
Flight tests showed that she was just a bit too small to fly well and I have plans to build another one day.
