I don't think anything on that instrument panel meets FAA specs.

50-60 years ago, Mechanix Illustrated and Popular Science gave me the 
idea that autogyros were very safe compared to helicopters. (have HQ 
send Little Nellie, and request that her uncle accompany her)

So I was surprised to hear of this one, which appears to have been a 
full on stall into the dirt:

This one, well any heavier than air craft is going down if the 'wing' 
comes off.

In principle, an autogyro is always in auto rotation. Like any flying
machine,, if you get behind the curve on altitude, airspeed or landing
place, or control, impact is predicted and injury box is pre-selected.
So.. caveat emptor..

After more than 50 years of being a pilot there is no good way to kill
yoursef.. however if flight history of gyrocopters is valid.. it is an
effective way to do great harm to yourself, before you die of injuries.
If you buy it, then fly it.. It's been nice knowing you.
