Haw haw, You ingrish sooo foonnee... .Actually I got to thinking about this ... You"re bull****ting me Mark, you couldn"t drive a land cruiser at a hundred K"s down a dirt road and roll a cigarette can you?? Surely not, your land cruiser wouldn"t be able to go that fast with your lardy **** in it, probably more like 80.And picking your nose in flight, I"ll confess I"ve never tried - how could you get past the visor on the helmet? You must be a man of many, many talents, and so clever with your razor wit too! My real problem is I am right handed, I daren"t take my hand off it as flying left handed would be very unco.. how you do it must be stupendous, maybe you"re left handed!You"re my hero Markus Uranus, I bow and scrape to your superiority, oh that I may be so skilled.Ken, Hello. How are you? Pleased to meat you, remind me not to shake hands when I see you, I might get an STD off you....Cheers,Nick.Hello again nik,had a couple of beers and it started me to thinking while rolling up.I"ve been asking you for help and have offered none in return,so may i take this opportunity to rectify that in a small to medium way?depending on your point of view...if you need to pick your nose whilst flying just drill a hole in the right part of your protective equipment and bingo!...or you could make it a part of your pre-flight checks maybe.Hope this helps you loveable *******.

I fly with left and right hands. When right becomes tired I swap to left. And for some reason when people wave I have to wave back with the right hand. Pete, i"ve built a lot of trailers(did it as a business in my teens). Just finished my new car trailer , all covered in aluminium chQ plate. The best suspension is still 2 spring sets, one for each axle with load sharing swing arm between. this ensures a level non bucking ride. It can also be done in a tri set up. We use to buy the whole set up ready to bolt on from Carter Wesco but I"m sure there are plenty of other manufacturers. If you go for their set ups bearings, hubs and axles are easy to change or repair and available anywhere. I am yet to see a successful coil set up as shock rebounding for different weights is difficult. The old duel axle (Duratorque) with indidual arms mounted in rubber inserts don"t provide adequate load sharing. The best experiment is to get someone to tow you around a paddock standing in the trailer I described . The ride is smooth as the load sharing arm 1/2"s the incidence of each bump. I"m going to try it on my gyro. Its gunna look funny with tandem wheels but I think the ride on rough ground will be good. Will try to take some photo"s and post on weekend. Ken

Nicko, flying and taking pics doesn"t get any safer or easier than in a gyro. If its set up right and trimmed, it should fly hands off no prob"s. The added advantage of the gyro being unable to stall, spin, handle adverse weather, and fly safely behind the power curve are all features and add to their safety.Here is a pic of me in mine flying hands off taking pics. P.S. A throttle lock is a must.Regards Sam......
