Gyrocopter design Help.
 

Hello All,

I am new to the forum, and recently gone back into full time education (Engineering) and want to get into aviation, the goal for my end of term project is to design and build a scale model of a gyrocopter.

I've been searching the web with no great outcome, so first question is are there any books you could recommend reading, website's ect.

Final I have came across this website
www.w-p.dds.nl/bookaut/index.htm
which have a few maths equations on but they are currently out of my capabilities, also knowing the web they could just be ramblings of a mad man!
so if they are legit, could anyone help me to understand them and make use of them for my project.

Thanks,
Ricky.
