My PCA-2 Autogyro set up and Bloopers

[Sofaman]

I had crashed my Pitcairn PCA-2 and basically had to set it up all over again. So....I would say this is a maiden flight....again. LOL! I have heard that if you haven't rolled in the ditch, you are not an official member. Well, my video does not disapoint. LOl! This was Saturday morning with crazy winds and freakin cold!!!!! I need to add some weight in the nose and then I will bring her back on a calm day.....no more 20 to 30mph gusts for me!

OK...enjoy the video. Click on the link below....it is Rated "G" so everyone can watch it now.

That thing is beautiful Dave your nuts test flying it on such a crappy day, Although I did chuckle just a little when I saw it roll into the ditch.

Hahahaha! I drove all the way up there, I was not going back home without getting her in the air! I thought you guys would get a laugh out of the ditch. I could not see it, both fields blended and once the right wheel dipped, she right turned into the ditch. Happened so fast! I was hitting left rudder but made no difference. Of course....Sunday was beautiful.
