Photo Comment

The Twinstarr Gyroplane was designed by Don Farrington and kits were originally produced by Farrington Aircraft Corporation in the USA. After his death the assets of Farrington Aircraft were acquired by Woody De Saar who hoped to produce Twinstarr kits in Europe. However as the original design was too heavy to meet UK certification requirements he and his brother designed a lighter version powered by a two cylinder Verner engine
