Silvavasil posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi everybody! This is alternate model of the official Lego Technic set 42117The main feature of this model that it can drive around 2 meters. Realistic sound, both propellers rotate. YouTube When you push the model, the drive axle make the propeller works which produces the centrifugal force that force the drive works more longer.

Let me turn aside from cars and trucks and present you the Autogyro: Autogyro/gyroplane/gyrocopter is a vehicle, which contains both helicopter and plane qualities. As a helicopter, it has main rotor, making a gyro get off the ground. At the rear an engine-powered propeller pulls the vehicle horizontally, like a plane. The primary feature of autogyro is autorotation. Autorotation makes the main rotor rotate through air flows only. It does not need an additional power source; some models have pre-rotator, though. This is an ultralight autogyro, so, despite its look, it is finished. Video: Features & Functions: – Spinning rotor and propeller – Rolling wheels – Main rotor control with the joystick – Rudder control through pedals – Fake flat-2 engine – Dashboard – Seat belt. Measures: 27x14x21cm (blades diameter – 50cm). Weight: 150g. Autogyro isn't a common type of vehicle. I personally met it once while watching the second part of Mad Max trilogy, and I was astonished by its unusual look. Anyway I didn't try to copy it or any other specific copter. The presented one a collaboration of many.

Autogyro Model
John Daniels posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
After watching Mad Max; Road Warrior, I felt compelled to build an autogyro. The models features are; Fully articulated rotor head, controlled from the stick in the cabin Functioning rudders and turning front wheel, connected to the rudder pedals Four cylinder horizontally opposed aviation engine, connected to the propeller Working doors Highly detailed engine compartment Removable engine and main rotor assembly Working lights Removable side panels, for showing off the engine details I find it hard to believe how easily this model came together. All of the components just flowed together during the build. As you can probably tell my autogyro model looks quite a bit different than the autogyro in Mad Max. Initially I wanted to build an open framed model, as the build progressed it became apparent that it would be easier to incorporate all of the mechanisms into a full bodied model, and here is the result. I tried to keep the level of details high, and I think that I succeeded. For ease of operation (read, play ability), the propeller, engine and, main rotor are all connected together. There is also the option to insert a crank into the starboard side of the model, to spin all three at the same time. If there is enough interest I can film a video of the models functions. I hope that you enjoyed looking at my model. ~John P.S. I am sorry about the fuzziness in some of the photo's. My computer isn't back up to full speed yet, so I can't use it as a remote control for my camera.
