(Flight Mar 9th 1933)
AutogirationsVISITORS to Hanworth will often see the new " Autogiro"without a fixed wing, and the other afternoon this same machine was being flown with the rudder disconnected.

Mr. Cierva was there himself with some of his experts, and he looked delighted with the result of the" trials. . I've noticed that a new form of control to tilt the rotor was also being tried. The more conventional method previously used on this machine was always understood to be somewhat heavy, so it is not surprising that a change has been made. After all, the reverse of normal , i.e., the " hanging stick," has been used with success in the French LeO machine, and we hear that this system is also being used in the single-seater which is now awaiting the new 40-h.p. Douglas engine, before doing its trials:

The five-seater cabin" Autogiro," ordered by the Air Ministry, should, if what we hear is true, have an amazing performance,so perhaps the idea of landing in, and taking off from, the Horse Guards' Parade, is not quite so silly as it used to seem.
