Re: Tandem vs Side by Side; Perfect vs Ideal.

Beautiful panel.

I was most impressed with what I saw at Kitty Hawk with regard to the Zen1.
Definitely a strong contender in the side by side market and the leader as far as space and comfort is concerned!

Re: Tandem vs Side by Side; Perfect vs Ideal.

That makes perfect sense. Yet I have experienced total comms failure in a Gyro, replaced the fuse after landing, has never happened again. I once had a GEN light come on and all charge lost, recycled the circuit breaker, has never done it since. (**) Your logic makes sense if you put only one device...

Re: Tandem vs Side by Side; Perfect vs Ideal.

As usual, well informed and lucid Flynote. How do you feel about flying with fuses rather than circuit-breakers? Is it a factory optional extra perhaps? I am in two minds about it. Only time a fuse has ever blown in any of my cars was when I messed with trailer lights and got it wrong. :oops: I have...

Re: Who flies what from where ?

Hi Crazydoc This is a very complex field and ultimately, each Gyro finds its perfect owner just as cars do. Some of us love our Land Rovers, Some our Beemers and some our Merc's (and the odd dingbat loves SAAB). So be it. Decide what you intend to do with the Gyro, why you want to do it and then cho...

Re: Autogyros vs Gyrocopters

As I have it, traditionally, tractor or puller machines with fixed heads and winglets & elevators were known as Gyroplanes -in that the controls & basic config were the same as planes. Pusher configs with gimbal pitch & roll controls became known as Gyrocopters. Igor Benson patented the word Gyrocop...
