Golden Rotors Package for Fs98 or Golden Wings

  This set contains two rotary winged aircraft of the 1930s. The first is the Pitcairn PA-21 autogyro in Detroit News livery. It's lift is provided by the auto-rotating blades after an initial rotor spin up through geared shafts from the engine. it is not a true helicopter but can make very steep jump take offs and landings at very low speeds. The other aircraft is the Sikorsky VS-300, one of the world's first truly successful helicopters. This model first flew in 1939 as an open framework affair and was crashed and rebuilt several times over the next two years. Igor Sikorsky in his big black hat  did most the test flying. 

 Installation: Just unzip the install.zip file into your main fs98 or Golden Wings directory and when you boot up  choose the Detroit News or VS-300 flights for your initial golden rotors flight tests. Flying instructions are included in the flights.
