Use it lose it ..... http://www.asra.org.au/Control.htm Thanks for the link, John. "You can bring the horse to the water, but you cannot make it drink." You can link and quote as many scientific evidence as you wish, the "flat earth society" will always find their arguments to contradict it. Yes, E...

I am not stepping on anybodies toes but maybe we need to fully understand what ours rotors are doing and what forces are applied to them..... Sometimes Wikipedia can make mistakes too.......:) .... In an independent research Wikipedia has been proven more precise than Encyclopedia Britanica. Multip...

Beautiful pictures.

We keep the fingers crossed!

My preference would be a circuit breaker over an automotive fuse. - A circuit breaker (CB) allows you to quickly and easily isolate a particular circuit - without having to remove gloves, find long-nose pliers and engage in a tug-of-war with a molten glob of plastic.. - So when your newly installed...

Hope to see you soon.

I am impatiently looking forward to it!!!

Just remember to bring some SA weather with you.

Very good news.

Congratulations!

Very nice web page!

I am still confused...but at least on a much higher level (**) Don't worry. It took me also a substantial amount of time to understand the physics of the gyroplane rotor. The precession force is something so weird, you cannot apprehend it easily. :) All rotorcraft, with their vibration issues, harm...

... No wonder why so few post their thoughts as they are so sh.. scared to be bombarded by the fundis. ... I am not a "fundi". There is just one Newtonian physics. This is not a matter of religion, faith and opinions. There cannot be "fundamentalists" and "faint believers" regarding laws of physics...

Weight shift????? :lol: Definitely not in this design nor in the Magni. But the RAF ? I am still not convinced..... I still do not understand, how the laws of physics should be different for RAF, than for other gyroplanes. The rotor construction (two blade teetering) and controls are almost the sam...

If you still believe that a gyroplane is a "weight shift control aircraft", like trikes, you have shown the enormous scope of your ignorance. PTKay, very unnecessary comment. .... The disc is very much like the wing of a trike and flies by itself. The dead weight of a trike undercarriage + pilot ha...

... To start: Do you fly the rotor disk or do you fly the cabin? Considering that the rotor disk is your wing and you manipulate this wing by shifting the weight on a pendulum arm , where do you propose to put the “feathers” you speak of?... I think you have exposed yourself here. If you still beli...

Hi, I think, you have forgotten about one more option, combining the advantages of the both standard solutions: - the 3 seater by Aviation Artur Trendak. http://www.autogyro.eu/oferta?lang=en You can order it with just 2 seats, one in the front and one slightly behind, (if regulations do not allow f...

Hallo Mr. Hetcher, that's great news. It's nice to hear that you have decided for the same new control system for the rotor like the new Zen2 by Aviation Artur Trendak. They also have chosen flexible control cables. http://www.rotaryforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=105654&d=1375423000 The...

Dave, excellence post. You nailed it. The permanent sales talk about how safe the gyroplanes are to fly, that they do not stall and spin, obscures the fact, that they have other potentially deadly flight issues, like mismanaging the rotor speed, performing 0 or -G manoeuvres etc. Nice to blame on "d...
