Mike, the Cessna 337 (?) that had been converted into a gyrocopter was at Sun-n-fun last year (2001) and had been flown in. It is a concept vehicle for a company that was developing a commercial gyrocopter. I believe it was Carter copters but not sure. It had the tail booms turned upside down, had a gas turbine engine in the nose and had the rear engine removed with a clamshell door in its place. There was a torque tube and gearbox on the floor just behind the pilot and copilot seat that drove a shaft up through the ceiling to the rotor. Also had the wings chopped off. Interesting vehicle.
