Looks pretty neat. &nbsp;Kinda like a RAF Long.

Any idea where we can see this machine in Poland? &nbsp;Has it already been flying?<br>Kind regards,<br>Paul wINDEY?<br>Gyroclub Icarus, Belgium<br>www.autogiro.net<br>pol@autogiro.be &nbsp;

Hi Paul,

I am in contact with the manufacturer, probably will see him this week.
Mr. Bogdan Chrolenko is working at the moment on the next generation, slightly modified (more power, CLT).

Until now only two were manufactured, one owner keeps his copter just 10 km from my place at his summer place, but it is deep winter now here and his hangar and landing strip is frozen (He owes akso a Sinus motorglider).

The first flight was in November, but for weather reasons the full flight testing program for certificatin can be started first in the spring time.

If you are stlii interested I will try to keep you informed about the progress of the project.

Any word on the Polishcopter?

I wonder how that thing handles with a big old gust of wind from the side hitting all that frontal area, with a kinda small tail? It can't be good....

I have always liked the nicely molded one piece vertical and horizontal tail on this machine. The workmanship and finish look excellent.

If I was building a gyro I would want this set-up on it providing it functioned as good as it looks.

Where are you PTKay ?? Any news ??

Looks quite neat and seems there are a few people now interested in hearing more. Link on the site is not working and addresses not correct. My mail is being returned.

From the view of estetics, they're little beauties but no information re expected performance; range, vne, climb rate, etc.

If the range is sufficient, how about a small luggage compartment? As with other fully enclosed, newer generation gyros now being touted, your machine may prove to be very competitive for small business owners considering the purchase and use of small fixed wing aircraft.

Designing and building the prototype(s) is the easy part - marketing those machines will be the real challenge.

Best of luck with the testing!

Done some research on this and this seems to have been around a while.

Unless I am mistaken, which I may be, the builder contacted a few savvy people on the forum, did get feed back on the machine and may even have put the machine up for sale after that.

Certainly looked very pretty and seemed a nice idea but may have had stability problems if I am reading some old threads correctly.
