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).
I never knew the differences between a gyrocopter and helicopter. Thanks for the info.

Gyro or no... the front wheel system just seems off, Could that thing fly with those hulking wheels hanging down like that?
I would have liked it better with the Skids and then some sort of wheels incorporated into those, or better yet, some wheels closer added into the bottom of the belly. The front gun also needs some touching up, I can see the red bleeding through the black... might just be the flash picking it up, but still bothering me. I would have loved to see a WIP of it before being painted to get a better idea of all the work that went into it(besides the wheels). |

13-21... I guess I'm not the only one. But I actually posted why I didn't like it better than the original.. what's the point of the poll then? If you post something, don't get all pissy if someone makes a comment. I didn't knock it or anything. In your thread title, it says.. "real" if that was "real" it'd take a nose dive as soon as it took off.
And what's what I post or don't post have anything to do with my "opinion"... if you ask me, get your ego in check first, then post your stuff... it'll help in the long run, don't get your panties in a bunch when someone doesn't say something besides.. "COOL" "AWESOME" Or anything like the above... hmm.. sounds familiar huh, maybe you'll learn this time around. Last edited by Joerhyno; 05-25-2009 at 02:55 PM.. |
