I did look that up on google, although I find little in the form of actual blueprints. Tools-wise, I lack precision stuff like a fancy lathe and a milling machine. I firstly wanted to see if someone actually flew one, see how it handles, how safe/dangerous it is, stuff like that . And from a technical standpoint, If reusing a motorcycle engine is possible ?

Ignore the autistic pedants, anon. This is a good thread and you will get many intelligent replies along with the dreck like that guy.

And yes, a quality motorcycle engine makes a decent aircraft engine for something like an autogyro that is inherently safe by design.

Good luck and please post photos as you make progress.

I will try my best. Although I think it's going to take quite a while to source all the things I need. But thanks for the encouragement

Not needed if you have a decent length runway.

This looks like it's right up there with ultralights as hobbies that will ultimately lead to your untimely death.

You poor naive fool..

Autogyros require lots of skill to pilot. I once had a dream of building one or perhaps a legal eagle ultralight.

Is there some reason you couldn't ask in homebuilt aircraft forums or boards?

Why are you here? /diy/ isn't a specialty board. Your asking here seriously indicates you are fucking stupid.

Not all motorcycle engines are suitable. However Rotax etc make some powerplants which will get the job done.

Now fucking go to places with people who IRL built and fly their own autogyros.

4chan is not an aviation forum. If you aren't prepared to be completely and thoroughly professional from the beginning you won't build shit. And, let's face it, you were so lazy you asked here.

If you are poor, unfuck your life first. Aviation is not a cheap hobby nor will it ever be. Run the numbers, assume nothing.

Littlewing autogyro. The engine will be your biggest expense has to be light and powerful preferably designed for aircraft. Also best to buy the rotor blades too. dragon rotor blades.

People tend to post here if they dont want to deal with pretentous assholes like on specialty forums. Great job providing him the exact worthless answer they would have given.
