Here's a pre-rotation and taxi test of a tractor gyroplane Juanito C-30 that is loosely based on the Cierva C30 at Valladolid Aerodrome in Spain. The engine appears to be a Continental O-200 and not a Subaru as mentioned in the description.

With a little bit of searching, I have found out that gyroplane is being built under the Asociacion Juan de la Cierva Codorniu. The president of the association is Laura de la Cierva, the great-grandaughter of Juan de la Cierva and is the senorita bonita in the photos and video.

I certainly would like to see the completion and flight of this gyroplane project.

This was a personal development by a single person.
He was doing by himself with his ideas and money. I lost the contact with him some years ago.
This project is not related at all with Laura de la Cierva and their projects, no matter she claimed that it is part of them.
The only contribution of her was visit him and took pictures and videos with the autogiro in the background.

Hopefully with some encouragement, especially from many of us on this forum, this individual will be inspired to complete the C30 project.
