Back McCandless M4
1961

McCandless M4

The McCandless M4 was a British single-seater ultra-light autogyro first flown in 1961. The original McCandless M4 was powered by a Triumph motor-cycle engine, this was later briefly replaced by a Norton motor-cycle engine which was abandoned in favour of a Volkswagen flat-four four-cylinder horizontally-opposed air-cooled engine which could be connected to the propeller without gears. The McCandless M4 had a cruising speed of 130km/h.

Can the victims of scam get their money back? Yes, if you have fallen victim to scam from an unregulated investment platform or any scam at then you are eligible to recover what was stolen from you and this can only happen if this is reported to the right people. With the right approach and with evidence, you will get what you lost back. Those behind these unregulated platforms will likely want to sell the idea that what happened to your investment was an unfortunate occurrence when in reality what happened was theft via elaborate means. If you are a victim or you know any one who is a victim of these occurrences, you should know there are people who can help you. Simply search reclaimcryptoagent1 @ gmail . com +1 614 526 8251 wats app just the way it is in that bracket. It is never too late if you have the right information, your sanity can be restored.

Hello everyone, I would love to share with you how I had a criminal record that deprived me of so many opportunities alongside 17 hard inquiries and about 13 derogatory items which messed up my report and lowered my credit score too low 460 (TransUnion) 380 (Equifax).
I couldn't meet up with so many payments and I was in debt from the bank and my friends, it was going to ruin my life until I came across an article just like this one online about WarDrivers Cyber Service and how they can help me with a clean record, I thought it was all a faux but something told me to give it a try and after 48 hours, my record was wiped clean and my credit was brought up to 810. I'm super excited and I strongly recommend WarDrivers Cyber service to anyone who might this. Contact WarDrivers at EMAIL: (wardriverscyberservice@techie. com) WhatsApp: +1 ( 6 1 6) 8 9 8-7 2 8 5

A Triumph engined helicopter device? Back in the 70's, I came across a bungalow between Chepstow and Caldicot which had scrap Volvos and other vehicles in the rough ground of the property. There to my astonishment was an abandoned helicopter /autogiro-? with an iron top end pre unit 650 engine. time passed and I was unable to find the location again. Could it have been one of the Mc Candless creations? I often muse on whether it survived.

What you found may have been an Adams Wilson Hobbycopter, a number were built, and used a 650 Triumph iron motor, you could buy plans and build your own machine, there would be more of these around than the Macandless Gryro,

Does anyone have any information on G-ARWW? My late father built this in our garage & flew it a lot back in the 70s - so perhaps sold it to you Brendan?

I bought a 54 inch Avro Avis propeller around 1958 in Belfast.
I often wonder if Rex McCandlass used it at sometime.
Would anyone have any info.

The developers of the McCandless were Rex and Cromie McCandless. McCandless is also the developer of the Featherbed motorcycleframe, first powered with again a Triumph engine, then adopted by Norton for it's excellent behavior for racing and road machines. The McCandlesses also developed the Mule, a Norton-engine driven small all terrain car, and a racertype as well. There are still two (proto)types, one M1 and one M4 at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, and probably one flying VW engine-driven M4 type having registrationnumber EI-ASR. In total there were 8 built.
