1920th style autogyro
Dear all,
for several years I had been building paper models e.g German battleships Scharnhorst and Deutschland, coastel steamer Praesident as well as several aircraft but hadn't done much for quite some time. My main interest currently is in programming a mathematical model for rotory wing aircraft, mainly autogyros. Since it will be quite some time before I'll be able to build one I had thought of building a model just for the fun of it and decided to use the fuselage of a Pietenpol Aircamper as basis for a gyro conversion. The model is in 1:48th scale and surely not the greatest but an experienced builder might well be able to turn this into an acceptable model of a kind of aircraft you don't see that many kits of. There is a small description with the model and the whole thing is available here: Pietenpol.zip - DivShare Note that I made all struts from wire, you might want to cover them as one way of improving on the model and you will also have to add a few bits here and there. The fuselage and colours are by the way based on Alan James' Pietenpol registred G-BUCO, to me one of the most shapely of them all. I hope that some of you have a little fun with it. I will probably not be able to contribute much to the forum but would like to tell you that I will definitely have a look now and then at the marvelous workmanship and the great models exhibited here. Happy modeling! Cheers, Juergen |

FREE model
Hi Rich and whulsey,
thank you for the nice words. Several people have had a look at the download page but so far nobody seems to have pressed the download button (or is there a flaw in the sites counting?) so I want to point out that you can get this model free of charge at the above site (I'd have to spend quite some more effort on it before I'd consider it worthy to be sold for money...;-) Cheers, Juergen |

I downloaded it the day you posted it, be a few days (weeks the way my build of a Star Wars Z-74 speederbike is going) before I can start building, but looking forward to it allways liked autogyros they look so busy. Looks like a good model, will let you know when I do.......Rich
