EI-GYRO
21st Century Crankhandler
The link below shows a Bensen autogyro, complete with engine, being
towed in the same manner as a gyroglider.
This is a useful exercise prior to wheel-balancing/crowhops, as it gives
a reasonable idea of the flight and flare characteristics of the heavier
machine while still in the familiar gyrogliding environment.
Apologies for the preliminary advertising and idiot commentary:
