Oh for a Magni
Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2025 8:28 pmNot too many gyrocopters in flightsim, here's a sassy Italian design, the Magni M-24 Orion.
You could think of it as a microlight, right down to the Rotax engine.
Cruises 75kts, 4 hours endurance, will take off in 100m and land in 30.
Every farm should have one.
No sim has modelled this species properly, and I suspect the use of one of Rob Barendregt's famous gauges from way back when to make it work.
It does: the ASI shows 10mph in the last pic.
