'Well, I just have to say that it was the most docile flying machine I had ever flown, including fixed and rotor wing. It was also the easiest machine to fly.

Little Wing Autogyros, Inc. is an Americanaircraft manufacturer based in Mayflower, Arkansas and founded by Ron Herron. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of autogyros in the form of plans and kits for amateur construction including for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules.[1][2][3][4][5]
The company is jointly owned by Ron Herron and his fiancée, Kristine Irvin. Books on vb scripting. Herron is an instructor of aviation maintenance instructor at Pulaski Technical College, North Little Rock, Arkansas and also formerly ran an aviation maintenance facility, Little Wing Aviation.[6]
Herron set out to design a safer autogyro, after experiences flying the Bensen B-8M in the mid-1970s. The company's designs use an unusual control system, common to all the Little Wing Autogyros, that was designed by David Kay in the early 1930s. It uses a mast that is fixed fore-and-aft, but which pivots laterally for banking the aircraft. Longitudinal control is achieved by an elevator and horizontal stabilizer system, designed to eliminate power-induced bunt 'push-over' accidents.[1][6]
The company has produced a whole line of single and two-seat autogyros, based on light aircraft fuselages, from the Little Wing LW-1 to the Little Wing LW-5. The Little Wing Roto-Pup is based on the Preceptor Ultra Pupairframe and optimized for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules.[1][2][3][4][5]

Low and Slow,
Don | Headwinders, I've just completed the design of a detachable cold weather enclosure for the Headwind and it'll be included in the sets of Headwind prints.

Don Don,
If you click on the actual URL for the videos and watch them on Youtube rather than embedded in the original email I sent you can see that the videos are on Tim Stover's channel who in fact is the owner of that Headwind. I am sure a comment on any of those videos will establish contact with Tim. |
