JT-5 Autogyro

Model

The JT-5 autogyro model was made on my Macintosh using formZ RenderZone software. The model file size is 6.4 Mb (500000 polygons). A 2400x1600 size rendering typically took about 30 minutes in my Mac clone PowerTowerPro with 250 Mhz Motorola 604e processor and less than 10 minutes in my new 24" iMac with 2 Ghz Intel dualcore processor.

4. Your website is absolutely amazing! So instructive. For the gyro enthusiast this is a dream com true. I have been desiring to build my own machine for years but have never been satisfied with any of the machines I have seen. Here is a machine that takes the "amateure" out and puts "professional" into a homebuilt.
