The gyroplane was struck by a gust of wind and crashed at the airfield. The elderly pilot was severely injured.
I'm the pilot of the accident and said that it is not the wind causing the problem.
during takeoff approx. 10 meter high the mast broke just at the top of the fuselage near the welds. It was the second take-off with the new metal chassis, the first flight lasted 30 minutes.
Following the previous owner who had a bad takeoff and damaged the autogyro, I bought the wreck and completely rebuilt the machine with new parts from AUTOGIRO (Germany)
