From 2010 (YouTube Edition): Herron’s Gyro Recalls Yesteryear’s Rotorcraft Configuration It is currently one of sport aviation’s most intriguing sport rotorcraft designs… but it is based on historic airframes that more than proved their mettle during aviation’s earlier generations. Ron Herron’s plans-built Little Wing Autogyro is a tractor design which brings back a vintage look with its tube-and-fabric fuselage and Rotec radial engine (though other engine selections may be adapted).More than just esthetically pleasing, the machine has distinguished itself worldwide as the holder of 29 World Records under the pilotage of rotornaut Andy Keech.
