ZU-DBV, ZU-RHO & RAF 2000 hub bar bolt torque Threads Merged

With 2 cycles/rev, at 350rrpm, that's 42,000 cycles every minute. 700 every second.

Please can you explain the high values above, I would have thought @350RPM x 2 cycles/rev = 700 cycles per minute or 11.666 cycles per second.

Gyro -hangarage at Virginia Airport over Dec 2013 ???

I wonder if some generous aviator could assist or point me to someone who might be able to. I am thinking of flying a gyro down to the coast from JHB somewhere around the 14 Dec – returning around the 3 Jan, and was hoping to get some hangar space at Virginia, for a bit of coastal flying. Any ideas ...
