Mini copter Silvinger G-40 "Shmoll"
This copter is very similar to an autogyro, but also has features of a helicopter. It is small, it is cheap for an aircraft, and in my experience it is extremely useful in search operations. Since it has only one seat - the pilot's seat, it is only suitable for reconnaissance.
The maximum forward flight speed (not down :) ) is 40 m / s (144 km / h).
The weight is 430 kg, so I do not recommend flying in a storm, believe me.
The cost is $ 6616, so it is suitable for starting a career in a bundle "Smoll" + launch boat or "Smoll" + cheap rescue transport.
And finally, it does not have a rear stabilizing propeller, so you can turn only after gaining horizontal speed.
Oh, and even more important. Use the control if you get out of it until the engine has completely stopped!!!
