Neat video advertisement for the 18A Heliplane. Great landing and takeoff action. Maybe you haven't seen this one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBHP_8mycgc&NR=1 Also, here a web site with info, pictures and news clips of scores of historic flying machines of all types, including unique gyros and helicopters. It is all one big, long page. I thought it would be worth sharing. http://www.combatreform2.com/killerbees.htm

Thanks for the link. That's a great video. One of the few gyros that can take off in as short a space as it can land in ! Gives it real helicopter-like utility. I wish someone would make a lighter modern version of it with a less expensive engine than the O-360.

I had not seen this film. John Potter was at his best when flying the 18A. Thanks!
