Rehan, is this how you want your autogyro to look? If I missed anything important or you wish something changed, please respond. wink

Hello Travis.

Very impressed............finest one I have ever seen.

Oh man you are GOOD.

Something to look at for times to come.........

Will put a large print on my wall and start planning
to start the build.......

I really appreciate your consideration and cooperation
and than you from the core of my heart.

With my very best wishes.

Impressive concepts Stingray!

Stingray · Administrator

Thanks for your reply! It is such an honor that you have asked ME to draft this configuration... and that you are considering to actually go with the idea! It warms my heart fully, thank you so much.

And just so you know, the second design may require lengthening of the tail boom. The three "fins" between the tailfin and propeller are examples that you can put an antenna array or any kind of electronics fin installation, if the design can be used for military applications.

Wow! Someone is finally considering one of your ideas for future reference! Good for you Stingray!

And good luck to Rehan on the build for this impressive looking modification! smile

YES......

I like the second one, have extended the rear keel.

Plus will have a twin stragged horizontal stabilizer ....elevators....

Will keep you posted.

Thank You all for your kind remarks.

Travis... Rehan... you are both epic. Happy to see your concept and Rehan's build from it is becoming popular.

Stingray · Administrator

Thanks a bunch, Triple-Nickel. aww

I should also note the aircraft now has another nickname, "GyroCobra".

Edoardo is collaberating with me on the project too, and we have agreed on shortening the tail boom in future concepts. The fin should be slightly taller, as seen on the original Air Command series.

Stingray, is the AH-68 hybrid a cross between the Apache, tigre and a tilt wing design, the AH-68 has the Australian weapons pack except the helfires on the left stub wing are meant to be on the inner hardpoint

Basically, yes. The weapon stores are interchangeable and can be fitted on any underwing hardpoint. The ones on the right wing are left blank as examples for adding long-range external drop tanks, sampling containers, or airborne recon sensor packs. The 4-barrel grenade launchers at the wingtips can also be removed for the placement of guided missile launch rails.

Stingray, you are a very talented artist. I am impressed that you have both mastered traditional style with pencil and that of digital media. I for one have no talent whatsoever. smile Please keep up the good work. I look forward to more from you.

Well well well, looks like kristen and piya14 are both pseudonyms for a spammer. Congratulations, you just got yourself banned.
