The autogyro is a type of rotorcraft which utilises an unpowered rotor in autorotation to develop lift, and an engine-powered propeller, similar to that of a fixed-wing aircraft, to provide thrust. It can used for Extremly Short Take Off and Landing. ESTOL
Chat Commands are:
- 'START' / 'STOP' for the piston engine
- 'T' toggles random turbulences on/off (default on!)
- 'L' toggle position lights on/off
- 'alt' changes the altitude display
Keyboard steering:
- WASD or the arrow keys to steering the LC150 like a plane
- E/C for throttle (5% steps)
How to fly:
- Wear the HUD, Sit in plane, Say 'start'
- There is no vertical take off! Your Gyrocopter need forward speed to generate lift!
- The LC150 detect pitch and react with proportional changing forward speed/lift
- 80-100% throttle for take off (watch 'Lift' indicator on HUD)
- 60-70% throttle for easy horizontal crusing
- 35-45% throttle for approche flight and landing (watch 'Lift' indicator on HUD)
