Its ok kit

May 03, 2020

It is an ok kit but it crashed on first flight and having a hard time trying to find replacement parts. It seems hobby king does not really care to show the replacement parts for I have not found them all yet if they are even available without buying another kit. Their site is really hard to scrowl through because if you look at one item, it takes you back to the first page to start over. That too me just plain SSSSSSSucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Auto-G2 Gyrocopter

Apr 01, 2020

I have read about people having problems but mine is still going strong after many flights. It's not a precision model but a fun bang around toy.
Flies just fine and is a lot of fun. Only change I made is I Velcro the battery to the bottom of the gyro.
I drag mine out flying all the time. Still have yet to see another one fly but hear stories that they don't. Fire mine up and fly it around showing them it flies well. Don't expect a pattern plane as it will hunt and wander a little. Loops are fun and no power landings are fun.

Overall good

Mar 07, 2020

A fun gyro to learn on! I'd recommend a hand launch into wind.
I purchased 2 of these - got the second after the pre-spin motor failed in the first. Turns out the 2nd pre-rotation motor failed as well. I ended up just removing them both and flying this as essentially a standard auto-g, without a pre-rotator.
After removing the defective pre-rotator and finding the whole assembly on backorder, I just flew it as is. It flew great and is quite a fun experience - just something new after many, many years of r/c planes and helis/quads.
HK - please get the pre-rotator figured out - they are intermittent at best and defective at worst.

I’m not the only person who had problems with start up motor

Feb 05, 2020

Another fun flying plane/heli but the first one I got the start up motor worked 3 times. HK said send the whole thing back. What a pain and expensive task. The replacement was sent and I got the start up motor to work 2 times and a servo failed in flight. I got half credit for that and now I wait for parts to come into stock to fix.

Nice But Fragile

Nov 18, 2019

Easy to put together, looks great, but watch the CG and have an experienced gyrocopter pilot to help. It's easy to screw up. If it crashes like mine did the main rotors broke and there is no spare parts stock to order from. HK needs to do better with that. I'm still waiting for notice that parts are available again.

Not working out of the box

Nov 01, 2019

Bought this to fly something different at my club field. Was easy to put together and looks great. Problem is that the Auto-rotation system does not work. I’ve traced it down to the esc/switch or the motor. Not sure that I should go any further in case that if I take apart the autostart system to troubleshoot further, I might void any warranty it has.
I tried to fill out a form but the form requires a photo on the model and the form will not accept a picture off my phone. Currently, I’m trying to work with HK, but the autostart assembly they sell is out of stock with no date is given to get more. I tried to contact Dynam for help but they did not answer my request AT ALL. At least HK is trying. Meanwhile, everything else works on the model, the switch I assigned to the model on my transmitter is working and the Autogyro sits on my workbench instead of flying.

Fun when you have parts....

Aug 30, 2019

The Gyrocopter itself is fine. It flies good for its weight/price. They haven't had parts for this thing for at least a month. It's very frustrating. The autostart stopped working on mine and I tried to take off anyway... guess how that went? If there were parts it would be a solid 4. Very fun when you have parts.

not that great

Jul 29, 2019

I bought this as a trainer for a bigger gyro I was given, so I had some idea of how to fly one of these odd ducks. The assembly was a breeze. The rotor head is extremely flimsy. My biggest gripe about this Gyrocopter is that the spin-up motor ESC fried the first time I brought it to the field. I plugged it into the balance lead per the instructions and next thing all the smoke came out of the ESC. I was able to get enough head speed with a ROG launch and was able to get a maiden in, but a gust of wind flipped the gyro upside down on final approach and I was not able to recover. This crash obliterated the main rotor assembly and bent the propellor shaft of the main motor. I was only about 10 feet off the ground and coming in very slow, almost vertical due to the wind, so it should have been able to withstand the impact. Too bad, because I was really enjoying the flight up to that point.
