Back McCulloch J-2 "Gyroplane"
1962

McCulloch J-2

Two-seat light autogyro, first flown in 1962. Deliveries of production aircraft began in 1970 and by early 1972 a total of 83 had been built. Power was provided by a 180hp Lycoming O-360-A2D engine.

In 1974 Aero Resources took over production of the J-2 two-seat light autogyro from McCulloch Aircraft Corporation. The actual prototype J-2, designed by D.K.Jovanovich, first flew in June 1962. A version known as the Super J-2 was developed from the J-2, powered by a 180hp Lycoming O-360-A2D flat-four engine.

I'm very interested in the J-2. I have a copy of the manual and the FAA TCDS. Does anyone have access to manufacturing drawings. It appears that Aero Resources Inc., the last type certificate holder does not exist anymore, but someone must be sitting on the drawings. Is anyone left from Aero Resources? Does anyone have a J-2 for sale?

Hi Tim. Has anyone gotten back to you? I lived in Lake Havasu city in the 60's and 70's. I've seen them fly. With today's tech advances I'm certain the J2 would be a very profitable venture. Let me know what you find.

I don't know what would have become of me if not for TROVIAN CREDIT REPAIR who turned my dream into a reality. I have always wanted to buy my own house but due to my bad credit profile, I got denied each time I try to apply for a home loan. After much disappointment I decide to find solution to my problems. I opened up to my co worker and he referred me to TROVIANCREDITREPAIR@GMAIL.COM +1 (424) 307 4562. I contacted them immediately, after much discussion we arrived at a price and they got started with the job. In less than 7days I got a message from the credit bureaus that a change as been made on my credit profile. Now am leaving my dreams all thanks to TROVIAN. If you have any credit issues the best choice you can ever make is TROVIAN contact them today and all your worries will be transformed to joy. They are 100% legit.

To Bill Evans -
Hi, I was at Lake Havasu in the summer of 71' taking flight training at the plant facility. Were you the instructor during that time? I was the only student, and were being trained for my dad's dealership near Atlanta. Just curious, as it was a fun & unique time in my life.

I'm currently researching Lake Havasu circa 1970 /1971. Anyone know if the J2 underwent factory test flights around 1970 in the Lake Havasu Area?

I just purchased S /N 089 and am carefully going through it to get it back in the air. I was wondering if there are any blades out there?

Hello I have a large amount of J2 spare fiberglass parts on my website allensaero.com.

Larry Coop, 17.10.2010reply

In my recent post the engineer I referred to Hal wolfe as Hal Roach. Hal was the engineer for the retrofit of the J-2 to a 200 HP IO360 engine. Sorry about that. Larry

Larry Coop, e-mail, 17.10.2010reply

I went to work at McColloch Aircraft on the J-2 in June 1971 in LHC Az. and along with Hal Roach retrofitted a J-2 with a IO360 engine and a Hartzell 3 blade constant speed prop. which improved the performance somewhat.It was a very enjoyable job until our pay checks bounced and had to leave and went to work for Civil Service. Am now retired and live in Dewey Az

Iam an ex US Army pilot and after a voluntary RIF in 1970 at the end of my second Vietnam tour emigrated to Australia. I worked for several helicopter companies there and was offered a position with Hawker de Havilland based at their Bankstown GA airport during the mid 1970s. HdH Had purchcased 8 J-2s and needed an experienced rotory wing instructor pilot for sales demonstrations and flight training. My first job was to draft a flight manual sylabus that satisfide The senior examiner. The first J-2 arrived with an instructor pilot who checked out HdHs test pilot who in turned checked me out. I then checked out the local rotory examinar who then signed me off as a qualified instructor. HdH mechanics outfitted a J2 with an extra fuel tank and I made sales demonstration trips from Melbourne in the south to the sheep stations in the Darwin area and on to the North west cattle stations. The experiences while all this was going on were too many to list. I get to to tucson once in a great while and I drop into the Pima air museum to check out the J2 that's there. Feel free to contact me for more info. I'm residing in the Palm Springs,CA area.

I have S /No 68 in Bendigo Australia registered 'experimental' being modified to overcome performance issues.

Brett Hines, e-mail, 09.03.2011reply

My father Bill Hines was involved in the J-2 project in the early 70s out of lake havasu. We moved from ca. in feb of 70 to havasu for his job opportuniy with mcculloch. He lived and breathed the J-2 and even lost 3 toes in an accident in Canada at an airshow while unlocking a blade of some sort.(not sure) unfortunately he past away a few years ago in havasu. He wasn't Internet savvy, he would be absolutely tickled to see such a web sight dedicated to his dream. This message is to all who are still interested and also to you pops, you'll always be a pilot.

Joseph Agora If I could you would have a job with me fabricating a new version of the J2 as I think it was ahead of its time, only one snag and that is funding. so unless a miracle happens or the winning numbers come up for the lottery
