I like the fold away four propellar blades and the extended wings, but the front wheels seem to large. Nice job still.

I just wanted one that matches the gyrocopter profile. I liked the skids as well, but I wanted it to match all around and it was for the custom contest. I didn't want a repaint type of custom so I went balls out and stripped her down.

Well technically, a gyrocopter (a.k.a. autogyro) needs wheels. Gyrocopters don't have VTOL (vertical take-off/landing) capability like helicopters do. They are STOL (short takeoff and landing) aircraft by design and need a runway for launch and landing (a very short one compared to even the smallest fixed-wing aircraft but a runway nonetheless). I always wondered why the FANG was called a gyrocopter because the original was obviously a helicopter. The guys behind the FANG name probably just assumed that gyrocopter and helicopter are synonyms, but they actually refer to two very different aircraft (in terms of aerodynamics and flight capabilities).

In the original series Issue # 30 They called them SNAP helicopters. I don't know what they meant by that! |
