Following on from Pauls comments on Rosco's workmanship, while Rosco's main line of gyros are HTLM's, he will build whatever type of gyro you wish [CLT, BLT,etc] with whatever motor you desire, whatever gearbox /prop /open frame /pod/ single / two seater or whatever you fancy !!!and he will test fly it as well AND provide after sales service AND has a incredible supply of Alloy of all sorts as well as ready to plug in, nosewheels, heads and various other items to many to mention PLUS he will mail or freight whatever you desire anytime !!!I dont apolagize for any of the above ramblings !!!BrianPooncarie NSW

Birdman,This is a dead horse mate, so there's no point getting back on it.I have no fear of getting back in a gyro because I know they can deliver one of the safest and softest landings on engine out for any aircraft short of a parachute.As to G2066, no eureka this time... just "oh, crap."I've had a moment to determine why my machine went down on me:Image Insert: 70.36 KBI can't even begin to think why this #3 cylinder inlet valve push rod broke, but one thing is for certain, it is a one way ticket to the ground... has anyone else seen this sort of failure?I'd have to speculate that it may have happened when the prop hit the ground, but I couldn't be sure, the power loss in flight is too consistent with the failure of the push rod, plus it was going but rough on the ground when I landed, before I made my silly decision to taxi off. I'll definitely be out of action for quite some time now, no blades, no prop, no nose wheel, no motor.. bummer.Hope you blokes get to enjoy yourselves while I rebuild.Cheers,Nick.Nicholas TomlinAlarmist - www.alarmist.com.au - we scare for you

Nick, from what I recall about rebuilding a couple of EA 81s your pushrod may have been bent by incorrect installation of the rockers. The manual warns that while they all appear very similar they will only be correctly aligned if they are in the right position.The positioning of the wavy washers is also important, as the rocker can be pushed sideways if it's in the wrong place, this eventually leads to the wavy washer breaking up, - as was the case with G 011, an incidental finding after the blow up.Do you have the manual?JohnJohn EvansThink logically and do things well, think laterally and do things better.
