This is the Pitcairn PCA-2 Autogyro. The scale looks of this model is like none other on the market. It flies as gentle as a trainer once it is set up correctly. Go by the plan, please refrain from 'ad-libbing' with this model. Support is just an email away or post something on RC Groups in the Autogyro section.

Start your build with the main frame. Build the sides on page 2, build on the top view on page 1. Complete main frame, minus formers. Glue your bottom 1/2 in sheet to the fuse so you can start the wing saddle. Next are wing and the tail feathers. Add the formers and stringers last. Once wing is complete, fab the landing gear. Have fun and good luck. Check in on RC Groups!"

Quote: "Hello, I stumbled across these plans on rcgroups.com [see datafile link] and noticed that you didn't have them. The 1931 Autogiro Pitcairn PCA-2 has four blades, but these 3-blade plans can easily be adapted to four rotors."
