    When Durafly released the original Auto-G it raised the bar by being the first Plug-N-Fly autogyro on the market, that bar has been raised even higher with the Auto-G2 V2. Keeping to the Durafly tradition, it is quick and simple to assemble, flies extremely well, and looks amazing in flight. The V2 upgrades include the addition of a durable 2mm fiber-reinforced nylon head plate, fiber-reinforced pushrods, a fully encased main mast, wider, stronger landing gear with large lightweight bush-style foam wheels, and a cowled-in motor, plus smaller internal electronics giving more space for the flight battery.
    Autogyros are very unique aircraft utilizing an unpowered free-spinning main rotor to develop lift, and a powered propeller to provide thrust. This makes them quite different from traditional fixed-wing aircraft. The Auto-G2 V2 offers you this very interesting design in an easy and simple-to-use Plug-N-Fly model.
    The Auto-G2 V2 also features an auto-start rotor run-up system. This system uses a small electric brushed motor which is engaged via a separate channel to spin up the rotors prior to take-off, this ensures the head is spinning at the optimal speed for take-off. Landings are also a dream, you can land the Auto-G2 V2 very similar to a conventional fixed-wing model. But with practice, very short almost vertical landings are achievable with next to no ground run. The upgraded wider, and stronger landing gear greatly improves the ground handling, and the large bush-style wheels allows for flying from even the most demanding surfaces and terrain.
    For those of you looking for a new flying experience, the Auto-G2 V2 is just the ticket. This model will be especially appealing to those fixed-wing pilots who enjoy coordinating turns with the rudder or to those who fly both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, as this model falls somewhere between the two. With its unique flight characteristics, the Auto-G2 V2 is by far one of the most interesting models you'll ever have flown. In addition to its super slow flight and auto-rotation capability, it can even perform simple aerobatics such as gentle stall turns.
    The Auto-G2 V2 fuselage and tail components are constructed from highly durable EPO foam, while the tail boom is made from strong, lightweight carbon fiber. Assembly is super quick with its pre-installed electronics, bolt-on horizontal stab, and pre-fitted servo linkages. The only part of this model that requires gluing is the vertical stabilizer.
    The Auto-G2 V2 will bring you a flying experience like no other and will leave you smiling from ear to ear every time the wheels lift into the air.
    Features:
    • Plug-N-Fly format with power systems, and servos pre-installed
    • V2 has wider, stronger landing gear with large bush-style wheels for better ground handling and rough terrain capability
    • Auto-start rotor system for shorter take-off runs
    • Strong, impact-resistant rotor blades, and durable 2mm fiber-reinforced rotor-head
    • Tough EPO components plus strong carbon fiber tail-boom
    • New V2 color scheme

    Thank you for the review, I have been out of the hobby for the past 4+ years scratch building $1 planes that few 60-70mph. Anyway looking at getting back into this great hobby but I know all my batteries and transmitters will need to be replaced. This may be the plane that I will be looking at. Thx again for the review

    Very Cool! I owned to G1, with no head spool-up, and once I figured out how to take off, I was able to do loops and rolls, no problem! And yes, I just did the pre-order on this guy, because I LOVE having that weird plane at the local flying field! 😂

    I subscribe to great personalities and people who don't take stuff too seriously.
    You did very well for a maiden flight since I've seen pilots who can't figure out this Durafly.
    What a unique heli/plane.

    I have both of the previous versions...nothing teaches you how to use your "LEFT" Thumb better than flying an Autogyro.
    I can't wait until they are back in stock again.
    Thank you for sharing your flight. Just wait for a windy day. Zero roll landings are the best.

    I watched the 2 or 3 review videos about this and they never really got me interested enough to buy it, but then I watched GB and John and had to pull the trigger. I ordered it and some spare parts through your link. I can message you the Order # if you want to verify your getting your $$.
    The only thing I'd have liked different is if the blades folded, to make storage and transport easier like they do on many new heli's
