This is a short maiden flight of my 3D printed gyrocopter Mantis originally designed by Richard Harris. Thanks to Joe who drew the STLs from Rich's wood construction plans with CAD so we can print it :) And thanks to Paul for the 3D printable 450 x 60mm blades! They work great and I'll stay with them in future.

Takeoff weight is 1140 grams. 3530/1100kv motor with 9x6 APC prop at 3S/2450mAh lipo. All printed with PLA, except the tail/rudder and blades printed with LW-PLA.
Flies great! But I need some more practice with autogyros ;) xD
