An independent engineering project to design and build the RSG DIAMOND — a two‑seat experimental gyrocopter created from scratch.
"We aim to inspire and empower the DIY aviation community by openly sharing our engineering process, knowledge, and progress — proving that ambitious aircraft projects can be built transparently, safely, and together. Krótki opis misji projektu
We want to build more than just an aircraft — we want to build a community. By openly sharing our entire engineering journey, from concept to flight, we aim to give enthusiasts, builders, and future creators access to real knowledge, real data, and real experience. Our goal is to make experimental aviation more transparent, more accessible, and more collaborative. Through detailed documentation, honest communication, and a commitment to openness, we hope to inspire others to start their own projects, learn new skills, and believe that ambitious engineering is possible outside of big corporations. DIAMOND is not only a gyrocopter — it is a platform for learning, sharing, and proving that passion and determination can lift an entire community.
Some projects are built for the market. And some you build because something in you refuses to let it go.
Diamond belongs to the second category.
We’re building a two‑seat touring gyrocopter using components that already exist — strong, proven, accessible. Not because we want to go “cheap”.
But because we want to go smart.
“Aircraft‑grade” is sometimes necessary, but sometimes it’s just a label with a price tag.
We want to show a different path: no shortcuts, no compromises on safety, but also no myth that everything must be custom‑made to be trustworthy.
The main landing gear of Diamond will be built on motorcycle swingarms.
Not as an experiment — as a deliberate choice. A component designed to take real loads, tested by thousands of kilometers of asphalt and potholes, available off the shelf for a reasonable price.
And there will be more solutions like this.
But before anything earns the right to be called a “solution”, it has to survive the prototype stage.
Real forces. Real mistakes. Real corrections.
That phase you simply cannot skip if you want 101% certainty that the machine won’t just fly — it will come back.
This is the mix: engineering, stubbornness, improvisation, logic, and a bit of madness that pushes a person to build something bigger than themselves.
And Diamond is growing. Piece by piece. Decision by decision.
In this phase, we focus on gathering supporters, creating transparent communication paths, and establishing a space where people can follow the project, ask questions, and participate in its development. By opening social channels, updates, and direct contact options, we begin forming the core community that will accompany the RSG DIAMOND from concept to completion.
At this early stage, our priority is not only to present the vision of the RSG DIAMOND, but to build the foundations of a community that understands the process, respects the work behind it, and wants to be part of the journey. This means showing the project not as a finished product, but as a living, evolving creation — something that grows step by step, with real challenges, real decisions, and real progress. People don’t just follow machines; they follow stories, transparency, and authenticity. That is exactly what we are shaping here.
To achieve this, we are establishing clear and open communication channels where anyone interested can stay informed, ask technical or conceptual questions, and see how the project develops from the inside. Regular updates, behind‑the‑scenes insights, and honest explanations of each stage help create trust and engagement. Instead of polished marketing language, we focus on clarity, openness, and showing the real engineering process — from mockups and materials to design decisions and testing philosophy.
At the same time, we are building a space where supporters can interact not only with the project, but also with each other. This creates the first layer of a community that will grow alongside the RSG DIAMOND — a group of people who share curiosity, enthusiasm, and a passion for rotorcraft innovation. Their feedback, questions, and reactions help shape the direction of communication and highlight what resonates most strongly. This early involvement is crucial, because it transforms passive observers into active participants who feel connected to the project long before the prototype takes shape.
By opening these channels now, we are laying the groundwork for long‑term engagement. The goal is to create a transparent, accessible environment where the development of the RSG DIAMOND can be followed step by step — not as a distant concept, but as a shared adventure. This is how the core community forms: through openness, consistency, and the feeling that everyone who joins becomes part of something that is just beginning to rise.
In this phase, we begin organizing and presenting the core technical materials behind the RSG DIAMOND project. This includes structuring engineering documentation, sharing early design elements, and outlining the development roadmap. By making the technical foundation clear and accessible, we enable the community to understand the project’s complexity, follow its progress, and engage with the engineering process in a meaningful way.
The full‑scale mock‑up of the DIAMOND cabin is now complete.
This stage allows us to verify all key elements before moving to the structural frame:
- overall geometry and proportions,
- pilot seating position and ergonomics,
- visibility angles,
- instrument panel reach and layout,
- cabin width and internal clearances,
- entry/exit comfort,
- alignment of structural lines for the future frame.
The mock‑up provides real‑scale feedback that cannot be obtained from drawings or CAD alone.
Based on this model, we are now making the final adjustments to the cabin shape and internal layout.
These corrections will be transferred directly into the technical documentation for the frame and composite elements.
This stage ensures that the next steps — frame construction and load‑bearing components — are based on verified, real‑world geometry.
