Single Rotor Gyrace!

Just spotted this on the Gyronuts website. I'll try and find out more about it soon. Attractive isn't it? If you already have the normal twin rotor Gyrace and are fed up with it, here's your chance for a new challenge utilising half of your old model. Looks like a fibreglass sheet rotor hub - easy to produce but not always successful... Looks to have direct control to the head for left and right roll and "normal" elevators at the tail.

Go HERE to see something really amazing. I wonder if he's actually flown the thing?! Notice even the blades are built up just like the original full size!

Let's hope it hasn't ended up as just another hanger queen!

Not sure about the fus, but the rotor looks like it's from one of these models: http://www.autogyro-rc.com/
