    It's not for me, but there's no denying the quality of the workmanship. Beautifully put together and textured.

    That's really cool!

    Did they ever fly it before they shut down? (I assumed they shut down, since no news since 2015 and the website redirects to a Chinese error page.)

    I don't think so, It was supposed to be test flown in July 2015. Shortly after the company went bust... but they started a new company with a more conventional (modern) gyrocopter design Chimera Aviation the future of aviation (chimera-aviation.com)

    But it also looks like this company has folded too. Barry Jones is also connected to this company Skyworks Aeronautics Corp (skyworks-aero.com)

    I've tried to get in contact with him but no luck.

    Okay, that's super-cool.

    Tell him you just want to do a high-speed taxi to capture some sounds. And then Spruce Goose that baby.

    But seriously, that's awesome. Glad it'll get to fly in MSFS at least!

    Looking forward to any updates on this one. Hopefully the visit went or goes well!

    Its based in Yorkshire, so a fair trek for me but I'll get around to seeing it eventually.

    So much fun, Craig! Would love some flying tips -- it's my first autogyro!

    Absolutely stunning model, as always, and really interesting to fly.

    Bought it mainly in support of a small developer and it is a unique aircraft. I think it's one of those items I will fly around a bit then put away like many aircraft I own. The work is excellent, but I found the flying to be a bit uninteresting. It's entirely possible I need more coffee. Those white coat guys have not come by with my meds yet. ;-)
    Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

    Hah. Yeah, I wondered if it'd be a novelty and then end up like the various ultralights I've bought -- fun to explore, but I don't fly them regularly.

    This one, though, is super-interesting to test-fly. It has a very different flight envelope, and I've been having fun learning how to take advantage of that.

    Rotek details are top shelf.
