Black Sands 2015, Gyro Planes

Well first time photos on my blog of Gyro Planes, When you look at these flying machines, you would think that the rotors would provide the lift. However the rotors are wind driven only and provides lift when wind passes over them like on a fixed winged aircraft. There is no down draft on from the rotors of a Gyro Plane. The engine provides forward power only.

So here is a selection of the Gyro's at Black Sand, ZK-KIW, ZK-MGN, ZK-RGG & ZK-RJW.
