| hjlittman | HJL Models Bostillation | Parked | 29-Apr-18 13:39 |  | | Views : 625 | | This is one of my Bostillation prototypes that I modified into an autogyro by adding a rotor mast in place of the wing. I did this for the Don Martin Cup contest for rubber powered rotary wing models and ornithopters on April 27. It does fly but on one flight it flew half way across the gym, pitched up, stalled (Yes,model autogyros can stall.) and fell to the floor on its back without breaking the rotor. Then, since the flight started with 2500 turns on the motor, it swept around the gym floor for nearly a minute like a berserk, propeller driven floor polisher. Worse still, Dave Gee videoed the flight! Despite the embarrassment, if I get a copy of it I will post it. |

The evaluation kits that I sent out have gotten good reviews and they are starting to sell. Of course, I really expect things will get interesting when I finally get the P-6E into kit. |

| hjlittman | HJL Models Bostillation | Parked | 15-Nov-16 21:37 |  | | Views : 695 | | Last year I designed what I thought looked like a proper Bostillation.Turned out to be so popular that I put it into kit this year. The Irish Jumping Bean will be in kit before the end of the year also. I have another Bostonian design up my sleeve, but I'll surprise you with that. |
