This is the BabyRingo autogyro that Allan Perrett loaned me for SMALL.
Take a guess as to why I was surprised when it quit running.

Didn't exactly 'land', rather 'fell to ground'.
The prop went sailing when the crank broke.

Yeah I couldn't see that on the video. Too bad about the crank. I have noticed with gyros that a bit of up after the engine quits will usually let them autorotate to the ground.

Crank broke right in front of what I would call the rear bearing.
That was the first time I ever flew a gyro although.... I have flown a pita .....

Nah. It actually broke at the pin but in a weird way.
I've experienced the too-short bolt phenomenon.

That brings back memories. My mentor in the hobby built a 1/2 A autogyro once. I seem to recall it flew somewhat slower than this one. Good stuff.
