gyro bits

[bones]

Ok people lets say some one wanted to build a machine, where can they locate parts they need, like fibreglass suspensions, all the hardware ie best place to order an bolts ect.Lets put up ideas for every one.I spose it just be easier to get it built by some one else, but not all of us have that much time.

The South Australian club had a very good list of contacts of where parts were available - but it may only be relevant to SA - not sure.Worth talking to them though, as it would be a great starting point.Shaun Murphy or Anthony Walker.Ll

Good idea Bones! This would be well set up as a section heading where the only listed info is the Name of Supplier. What they supply. Contact details like address, phone/fax/email contact info. Not where we can lead of the subject lines

Guys,Also remember that the ASRA TA is always a good local source of advice on where to go for bits etc. Also the ASRA mag lists vendorsAlloy 6061 T6 - Northern Rivers Gyro Club or RoscoWheels & tyres as aboveAircraft Hardware -

Adrian,That is exactly right about aircraft parts that is why i asked the question, as we are a bit isolated from all the big shops down shop, mail order type thing is about all we can get,

[Des Garvin]

"Bunnings is not always a good supply house for aircraft parts!" Come on Adrian ya have to suport my company as a share holder,

[Adrian S]

Des,Structural parts 6061 T6 as above. Remember you can fashion alsorts of brackets etc from cutting the 2x21/2.Cheek plates use 5083 marine grade plate -5 or 6mm and can be sourced from any boat builder or ComalcoNon structural ie pod mounts etc

After going to Rosco"s today, Its a must if your building a gyro to pay him a visit, but be warned once your in there you"ll be like a kid in a candy store.

[Tsemler]

Oh and rest assured that if you do the mail order thing with Rosco your stuff will be as safe as houses, He packed my gear like it was goin overseas... and i picked it up.... Top bloke

surely cant leave out gerry with his seat tanks and rotors. he has a very wide chord extrusion, and rob also has a composite main spar, as well as rotor heads, as do others. this list would be good in the mag for when newbe"s can start getting them at the news agents stand.how far away is that anyway guys?

[tonydenton]

just had a need to go to the jab warehouse today and when you live here in god"s country you can"t forget about that place. very friendly people lots of toys and hands on aircraft tricky stuff. always makes me feel like a kid in a lolly shop.
