Gyro Rotor Wing Toy Kite
A Google search didn't turn up anything so let me appeal direct. Some
years ago I saw a vendor selling a little plastic toy gyrocopter at a PRA Fly-In that flew much like a kite in the wind at the end of a line. Over the next couple years I saw the same toy at EAA events such as Lakeland and Oshkosh. Sadly I didn't buy one. I now have a Grandson and I would love to find one of these wonderful toys for him. Alas, I have searched all over the web and can find nothing and no one who sells them. Can someone here point me toward a vendor who still sells them? Santa would be very grateful. Tha RagMan |

I've got mine from WicksAircraft recently. Nice thing also to study some
tricks on teeter rotor. Particularly, unloading rotor is very spectacular for much less price than in reality ) Cheers, Alex http://twistairclub.narod.ru Sport Rotorcraft of Russia "Tha RagMan" ???????/???????? ? ???????? ?????????: ...

RagMan,
DO NOT purchase a plastic gyrokite! If you want one that really works and is fun to fly, check out the following link: http://www.autogyro.com/models/GyroRaptor/Raptor.htm Randy "Tha RagMan" wrote in message ...

Tha RagMan Randy; The GyroRaptor is very interesting but way on the expensive side compared to the commercially prebuilt Gyro Kite. I have seen the Gyro Kite and it flys perfectly. You don't have to build it and it cost about 1/3 of the GyroRaptor kit that has to be built. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Your info is appreciated. Tha RagMan |

I had a "Copterkite", lost two of them to mast bumping. My fault I flew them
in gusty conditions and a bad regular kite flying habit habit of pulling the string to increase lift. |
