They fly well but take-off is tricky. Not the same as a helicopter.Are we looking at the same one??

The MM Wallis, although fascinating, is nearly 25 years old and is a bit past it. It flew but orientation was a problem as was selecting the correct power source. Todays engines would probably transform the model. There was also the Kalt Robin and robbe Whopper. There is a Wallis on ebay at the moment in the UK but at a price. It would be better to purchase a PT 25 gyro with real autogyro head control for the money. The 3gpo and begi ,from mnowell129,are also proven designs. The main problem with people dabbling in autogyros is there inability to succeed and the loss of interest which is a great loss to the gyro community .Buy a proven and reliable design! see ezonemag,discussion groups or rcuniverse.

Good comments Bill.
The wallis was of the same era as the
GMP Cricket and the MM Lark.
If starting out in heli's, no one would seriously
suggest these as the first model to try. Instead
they would suggest something newer (Blade,H3,Raptor......)
Same here, get or build something recent.
Ari's slow-G also works. Links here:

Mnowell129, I went to your web page, that Begi is too cool!
May have to consider one in the future, very nice, and to think I thought that it was either fly heli's or planks

If you bling it, they will come :D
