Default Bi-wing glider

Anyone ever tried to soar an autogyro?

Autogyros have been towed behind automobiles, then released. Somewhere on
the way down, they must have encountered a thermal which reduced the
descent. About like asking if anyone has ever tried soaring a Piper
Tri-Pacer.

When ytou get to asking questions like this, it is time to go out and sit in
your sailplane for an hour or so. Maybe listen to a ball game or eat lunch
while you open and close the spoilers. That usually is enough to take your
mind off such things as autogyros soaring. Maybe even polish up the wings
and canopy.
