Hey guys, I am new to the amazing world of rotary aviation, and I am super excited to get started!
I am very limited by funds right now, but I have access to a ton of tools, and feel reasonably confident in my ability to make a gyro-copter of at least decent quality.
I am going to start by building something very similar to a b19, and eventually add propulsion with a propeller in the back.
I am faced with a few problems here:
1. I need to make/purchase the main, unpowered rotor. Any ideas on how I can do that?
2. If anyone has experience with engine speed, choice of engine, and propeller design for the back propeller, that would be amazing!
3. I am planning to build the top propeller housing, but if that's an awful idea, I would love to know!
I would say I have a budget in the several-hundred to one thousand dollar range. I know it's not a lot, but I am a hard worker, and great with machining. Any help with this would be awesome.
Thanks!
