The Magni M-14 Scout is an Italian autogyro, designed and produced by Magni Gyro srl of Besnate. The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

Design and development
The M-14 features a single main rotor, a two-seats-in a tandem open cockpit with a windshield, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a four-cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 100 hp Rotax 912S engine in pusher configuration. The turbocharged 115 hp Rotax 914 powerplant is optional.

The aircraft fuselage is made from TIG-welded 4130 steel tubing, while the cockpit fairing is fibreglass. Its 8.23 m diameter composite rotor has a chord of 22 cm and is manufactured in house by Magni Gyro. The propeller is a three-bladed carbon fibre, ground adjustable type. Electric trim is standard equipment, as is a Flydat digital engine monitor. The second seat is located right behind the pilot's seat without a separate cockpit, dual controls or windshield and is intended for occasional use to carry a passenger. The pilot's seat includes an integral 50 L fuel tank that provides three hours endurance. The aircraft has an empty weight of 244 kg and a gross weight of 550 kg, giving a useful load of 306 kg.
