I sure was happy to win this extremely rare and old plan on eBay. The plan was in good shape even though it was turning completely blue, so restoring it took me twice as long as I had originally estimated it to take. .... BUT ,,,, I like to be able to fly out of a tight spot and the plans claim that this gyro will slow to 5 MPH. WOW. That is slow. But can haul tail at full power! How COOL! And Hal deBolt was one awesome builder and pilot. He even shows the part number for the ball bearing for the rotor shaft. No guess work there. So I just had to buy the copy rights from Hal. FYI, Hal lived not too far from me. About 60 miles? I heard Hal has past away. <sigh>
These are high resolution TIFF files containing 200 x 200 dots per inch.
The files will print a sheet 36" x 48". Also included is a 5 page magazine article which is really cool to read. You can print them at home.
File $5.00
I have included a color scan of the title bock area. I am extremely proud or my work and I never have anything to hide.
If you have a picture of this plane or any of my planes, please email me a copy and I will try to display it on this web site. Thanks, Willie
Now there is a nice finish. Wouldn't you just love to get your hands on that?
Fruit of the Loom?
See a auto-giro fly on Youtube.
FYI; This is the very first plan that I bought the copy right too. I gave Hal $50.00 and I may have sold enough plans to have broken even by now..... I think? ,,,, Maybe you should buy one just to make sure?
