This is my first attempt at a controllable RC helicopter. This model was inspired by rc autogyros; More specifically, autogyros with a gimballed rotor as a control system. The basic design of this helicopter is a mere modification from that of an autogyro: The Rotor is adjusted to have a positive pitch angle
The rotor itself is powered by a oversize pre rotator unit. 
The aircraft is equipped with a tail rotor.
