Normally a very stable aircraft due to its design!

That Xenon 4 sport looks like a great 'plane. Love to see one for FSX. As with everything tho, what starts out as a relatively cheap and efficient way to fly, gets developed into something no-one can afford. That's what happened with the Cirrus, started out as a home build and now i'ts a 1/4 million dollar executive.

Hello Log....

There are a few fantastic Flight Sim Gyrocopter/Gyroplanes out there!

I currently have these excellent Gyro's in my Hanger...
Bensen Gyrocopter.
Xenon Gyrocopter.
Barnett Gyrocopter: Single and two-seater.
...and a few more fun machines!...

(FS 2004 models, but work in FSX!).

Loads of fun to fly, and an example here!...>>>

Try it....you'll like it!

Paul..Happily gyrating!.... :D ...!

I have added some extra, useful bits and bobs in my Gyrocopters, with the aid of FS Panel Studio.

Here's one that looks like it's made out of a 3 wheel baby buggy.
