Gyrocopters

Post by austerdriver »

Are there any good autogyro's or gyrocopters for FS2004? Maybe a Wallis autogyro or a Benson?

And if anybody is wondering what a autogyro is

Hi. I would be more than happy to write a short review.

I'll put something together along with some screen shots in the Payware section in the next day or two.

EDIT - how's this?

The Cierva can also be called an Avro Rota ;)
IIRC Bill Lyon's included a Kellett autogyro in one of his packages, think it may be in the 'Silver Wings' one
(with the Sikorsky 'boat), now freeware of course.

And don't forget our own Mr Garwoods' Little Nellie, made for fs02, but works in fs9 too :)

Hi Pete,

The Kellett is in Bill's 'Golden Hawaii' package, freeware as you say, and available on flightsim.com
