RSG GyroFly A ground‑up autogyro project blending engineering, documentation and hands‑on building. Making personal aviation real — not someday, but now.

Within just 24 hours we jumped from 17°C to 27°C.
My body is still in spring mode, and suddenly it feels like the tropics here in Skåne.

So today I’m just lying around like a carp gasping for air…

Luckily, my hop‑herb brew is already cooling down.
Life saved.

Still — I promised to show you Diamond after the latest design evolutions.

And this is how it looks now.

🛠️ Evolution, not revolution... or what happens when reality checks the artist’s vision!
​In theory and on the computer screen, everything looked beautiful, aerodynamic, and sleek. Unfortunately, brutal ergonomic testing (meaning: actually putting my own head inside the cabin mockup) revealed that the designer must have assumed I’d be flying without a skull or in a permanent side bend. 🫣
​The verdict? The cabin was narrowing down way too early around the head area. So, we’ve got a minor reshaping of the fuselage ahead of us. Luckily, it’s just an evolution, not scrapping the whole project!
​Why am I messing with what looked so good on paper?
​1️⃣ Windows from a hardware store, not NASA: Sticking to the old geometry would mean one thing – having to bend the door windows. And I’m running away from that like the plague. Straight glass means simple installation, peace of mind with the seals, and fewer grey hairs when building the doors.
2️⃣ Geometry vs. Gravity: While building the mockup, some surfaces decided to throw a tantrum and twisted a bit. The original plan was simple: keep it flat and straight so the PUR core doesn't suffer from unnecessary internal stress. We are going back to strict, straight lines. 📐
​Will the RSG Diamond lose its style? 🤔
The shape might become a bit more rugged, straight-edged, and technical. I might lose a few points for that "ultra-sleek aerodynamic look," but I’ll gain the minor benefit of not getting wedged inside my own aircraft while getting in. Function dictates form!
​Pretty soon, I’ll show you this slightly modified (and much more humane for my cervical spine) fuselage concept. Stay tuned! 👋

Life lately has been a mix of sunshine and rain — busy days, lots of jobs, lots of running around… but Diamond sure as hell won’t build itself.Today the test seat goes into the mock‑up. Not the final one yet, but perfect for setting the correct seat height and starting to lay out the cockpit ergonomics.If the weather behaves, I’ll keep pushing — because unfortunately Diamond is still standing out under the open sky.
But as they say: if you don’t have a workshop, you make a workshop out of the weather.A small step, but an important one.
Because when your ass sits right, your head works better.

Building the Community and Communication Channels.

In this phase, we focus on gathering supporters, creating transparent communication paths, and establishing a space where people can follow the project, ask questions, and participate in its development. By opening social channels, updates, and direct contact options, we begin forming the core community that will accompany the RSG DIAMOND from concept to completion.

At this early stage, our priority is not only to present the vision of the RSG DIAMOND, but to build the foundations of a community that understands the process, respects the work behind it, and wants to be part of the journey. This means showing the project not as a finished product, but as a living, evolving creation — something that grows step by step, with real challenges, real decisions, and real progress. People don’t just follow machines; they follow stories, transparency, and authenticity. That is exactly what we are shaping here.

Diamond hasn’t disappeared.
Diamond hasn’t died.
Diamond is simply sitting quietly, watching me deal with real life, work, and a budget that lately behaves like a gyroplane without fuel.

But the vision hasn’t stopped for a second.

This project isn’t a “hey, I’ll tinker in the garage when I get a free afternoon” kind of thing.
It’s a marathon — sometimes you run, sometimes you walk, and sometimes you stand on the side of the road scratching your head, wondering where the money went.

But the direction hasn’t changed.
Diamond will be built.
It will stand on its wheels.
It will fly.

Right now it’s just a pit stop.
And like every pit stop — it takes a moment, but it lets you push harder afterwards.

The season kicked off like a rocket leaving the garage.
Wooden decks one after another, boards flying, screws disappearing faster than fresh donuts.

Meanwhile my poor Diamond is standing outside under the open sky, looking at me like a dog that’s been waiting three days for a walk.

Every time I walk past him, I can almost hear:
“Really? Another deck? And I’m just standing here getting rained on like a chump?”

But what can you do — work is work.
First I have to get everyone’s decks ready for summer,
and only then I can get back to my flying beast,
who’s basically standing there with a metaphorical tennis ball in his mouth giving me the
“Hey boss… remember me?” look.

Don’t worry, buddy.
I’ll be back.
And when I do, the progress will be so loud you’ll forget you ever had a reason to sulk.

✈️ POST: “How My Brain Lost My Diamond”

Alright.
Here’s the story of how my own brain decided to pull the best prank of 2026 on me.

You know how it is — you build a machine.
You design.
You measure.
You calculate.
You swear.
You measure again.
You swear again.
And eventually you reach that point where the machine stops being a project…
and starts becoming alive in your head.

And yesterday…
It happened.

---

1. My first flight in the Diamond. A real one.

Not in CAD.
Not in a render.
Not on paper.

In a dream.

And it wasn’t one of those dreams where you fly like a superhero over a city doing barrel rolls over a stadium.
No.
This was a test flight.

I felt the roll.
I felt the lift.
I felt that “oh yeah, we’re climbing” sensation.
I saw the horizon, the ground, everything.

And the interior?
Black.
Just like in my Audi Q5 — my black, calm, elegant ground‑cockpit where I sit every day and which my brain apparently uses as a default cockpit template.

My brain basically went:
“F**k the details, we’re using the Q5 layout. Let’s fly.”

And honestly?
It was beautiful.

---

2. And then Kasia enters the scene. Glowing like a movie character.

I land from that dream flight, still half a tank left.
I look at Kasia and say:

— Wanna go for a flight?

And she, like I just offered her a private jet to the Maldives:

— Yesss!

And that’s when I knew it was a dream.
Because in real life:

- first Calidus flight → stress,
- after landing → “that was awesome”,
- initiative → zero.

She’s not a “let’s fly again” person.
And that’s fine.
Not everyone has the aviation spark.

But in the dream?
In the dream she was excited like we were about to film Top Gun 3.

---

3. So we go to get the Diamond. And that’s where the comedy begins.

We get in the car.
Drive to some town I’ve never seen before.
You know — that RPG vibe:

“Your mission: find the Diamond. Good luck, hero.”

And me — a guy who:

- never loses his car,
- always knows where he is,
- has a built‑in compass instead of a brain,

suddenly wandering around like a tourist without internet.

Walking.
Looking.
Searching.
Turning around.
Going the other way.
Nothing.

The Diamond was gone.

Just gone.

Like my brain decided:

— Rob, you had one flight. That’s enough. Season two coming soon.

And Kasia is standing there, ready to fly, while I’m walking around like an idiot searching for a machine I built myself.

---

4. And here’s the best part.

This wasn’t a dream about flying.
This was a dream about a real machine.

Because you can’t lose a vision.
You can’t lose a sketch.
You can’t lose a concept.

But a real machine?
Oh yeah.
That you can lose.

My brain treated the Diamond like an actual object in the world.
Something you can:

- park,
- leave somewhere,
- search for,
- and lose.

That’s the moment a project stops being a project.

---

5. The moral?

There is no moral.
This isn’t a fairy tale.

It’s just a story about how:

- I flew the Diamond,
- wanted to take Kasia for a ride,
- went to pick up the machine,
- and my brain pulled the best prank ever.

The Diamond is alive.
Even if it sometimes disappears in some random dream‑town.

---

6. Now your turn — who’s had a dream so real you woke up checking if it actually happened?

Comments welcome.
Laughs welcome.
And if anyone finds my Diamond — please return it.
It still had half a tank.
