Hi there everyone!
The reason for this posting is straight forward: I am looking for an old
gyro copter design. It must be older than 1994 for it is not in a 1994
listing of "KITPLANES" anymore. As far as my memory goes, it was called
"Windrider" or "Windraider", had a composite fuselage and an all closed
cockpit. I saw one flying between 1989 and 1992, I think.
Google does not really reveal anything that makes sense to me.
Who has further hints and information?
Happy flying, Eckard
Eckard,
It was called a "WindRyder", and was manufactured by the same company
that made McCutchen SkyWheels rotorblades in Colorado.
They haven't been made in years.
Your best bet for information would be at

The site is currently down for a short time for database repairs, but
should be up soon.
There is a builder there who is rebuilding one. You may be able to find
some more leads.
