Durafly (PNF) Auto-G2 V2 Gyrocopter w/Auto-Start 821mm

When Durafly released the original Auto-G it raised the bar by being the first Plug-N-Fly autogyro on the market, that bar has been raised even higher with the Auto-G2 V2. Keeping to the Durafly tradition, it is quick and simple to assemble, flies extremely well, and looks amazing in flight. The V2 upgrades include the addition of a durable 2mm fiber-reinforced nylon head plate, fiber-reinforced pushrods, a fully encased main mast, wider, stronger landing gear with large lightweight bush-style foam wheels, and a cowled-in motor, plus smaller internal electronics giving more space for the flight battery.

Autogyros are very unique aircraft utilizing an unpowered free-spinning main rotor to develop lift, and a powered propeller to provide thrust. This makes them quite different from traditional fixed-wing aircraft. The Auto-G2 V2 offers you this very interesting design in an easy and simple-to-use Plug-N-Fly model.

The Auto-G2 V2 also features an auto-start rotor run-up system. This system uses a small electric brushed motor which is engaged via a separate channel to spin up the rotors prior to take-off, this ensures the head is spinning at the optimal speed for take-off. Landings are also a dream, you can land the Auto-G2 V2 very similar to a conventional fixed-wing model. But with practice, very short almost vertical landings are achievable with next to no ground run. The upgraded wider, and stronger landing gear greatly improves the ground handling, and the large bush-style wheels allows for flying from even the most demanding surfaces and terrain.

For those of you looking for a new flying experience, the Auto-G2 V2 is just the ticket. This model will be especially appealing to those fixed-wing pilots who enjoy coordinating turns with the rudder or to those who fly both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, as this model falls somewhere between the two. With its unique flight characteristics, the Auto-G2 V2 is by far one of the most interesting models you'll ever have flown. In addition to its super slow flight and auto-rotation capability, it can even perform simple aerobatics such as gentle stall turns.

The Auto-G2 V2 fuselage and tail components are constructed from highly durable EPO foam, while the tail boom is made from strong, lightweight carbon fiber. Assembly is super quick with its pre-installed electronics, bolt-on horizontal stab, and pre-fitted servo linkages. The only part of this model that requires gluing is the vertical stabilizer.

The Auto-G2 V2 will bring you a flying experience like no other and will leave you smiling from ear to ear every time the wheels lift into the air.

Features

V2 has wider, stronger landing gear with large bush-style wheels for better ground handling and rough terrain capability	Auto-start rotor system for shorter take-off runs
The Durafly Gyrocopter V2 is equipped with wider and stronger landing gear, featuring large bush-style wheels. This enhanced design provides superior ground handling, enabling the gyrocopter to navigate uneven and rough terrains with ease. The wide wheels distribute weight more evenly, reducing the risk of tipping and ensuring a smooth landing experience.	The gyrocopter features an auto-start rotor system, significantly reducing the length of take-off runs. This innovative technology eliminates the need for manual rotor spinning, making the start-up process faster and more efficient. With the auto-start system, pilots can achieve lift-off in a shorter distance, enhancing the overall flight experience.
Strong, impact-resistant rotor blades, and durable 2mm fiber-reinforced rotor-head	Tough EPO components plus strong carbon fiber tail-boom
The Durafly Gyrocopter boasts strong and impact-resistant rotor blades, coupled with a durable 2mm fiber-reinforced rotor-head. This robust combination ensures the gyrocopter can withstand high-impact forces, maintaining structural integrity even during unexpected collisions. The fiber-reinforced rotor-head adds an extra layer of durability, extending the lifespan of the aircraft.	Constructed with tough EPO components and a strong carbon fiber tail-boom, the Durafly Gyrocopter offers exceptional durability and stability. The EPO material provides lightweight strength, while the carbon fiber tail-boom enhances rigidity and reduces flex, ensuring precise flight control. This combination of materials ensures the gyrocopter remains reliable and performs optimally in various flight conditions.
