Benson B8M Single place Gyrocopter.

Pilot, Rudder pedals animate with rudder movement in external view.

Remember that Rotor is all drag it's like pulling a parachute behind you.

With full throttle it will climb like crazy 1200 ft min.


Once you cut the power the airspeed drops fast so get the nose down and make a steep approach 35 to 45 knots,  or hold some power on to the flare.

Maybe at best it has a 3 to 1 glide ratio.

I like chopping the power and setting up for the the flare without
adding power.



I think I have the flight dynamics close.

Plenty of lift with power and lot's of induced and parasite drag.

Anyone think they can get it closer send me a copy of the cfg file.
