Geg you'll know who I am  a helli might be a bit too abitious but how about an Autogiro version of the Agriduck, take the existing fuse use a Masterflight S6oo gearbox as a rotor head...standard practice, stub wings might be cool and a flat a twin or tripple rudder tail. Clancy did a conversion for the lazy B ......... [/img]ohh ..how do I upload a picture?

look for the Dag autogiros http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=469368    http://home.att.net/~imsofaman/dag1page.htm caution it needs a fast connection you could even go to a twin rotor on a Sport duck. failing that look on http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=786845

Yes,  It has crossed my mind and I think it would be a hoot to see Gyro-Duck!  Consider it on the to-do list (but behind several others).

You linked Dave Surace's (imsofaman) DAG-1 page... I worked with him on my 50% Agri-Duck (yet to be redrawn), he prototyped a new one-peice wing.  He's local to me so I visited a couple times and got a crash course on autogyro science.  I was definitely going to tap into his knowledge when I crossed that bridge.  He's a really great guy. (he's one of the few links I have on my link page http://www.mudduckaviation.com/links.htm )

Hi Greg, could you use some three views of those vintage giros? http://www.hofstra.edu/CampusL/Culture/Autogiro/Autogiro_gallery14.cfm

  Ive just seen I missed the D out of HydroDuck in my user name ....Dyslexia lures KO I blame the tablets........... can you change it for me please or it will take me an age to find out how , sorry.

If I can get some big sheets of card board from somewhere I will see if I can mock up a Boeing F-boat style duck fuse. Whats the chord and span of a single big Duck wing panel someone?
