I know you will all have a different idea but it will give me something to start with. Now living in Mackay Qld..OK Question time,Plans or designs for a two seater? Prerotators ? Electric, mechanical or hydraulic?

crash, you havent said if you want to build or buy, rob patroney, i believe, has a second hand tandum, and a soon to be completed brand spanking new tandum.

Hey Tony,Are there any pics of Rob P"s tandems?

[Echo]

Rob has Brian Maloney"s tandem G625 for sale . EJ22 , tri tail , Patroney blades etc. I haven"t got a recent pic of it but it is in Gyro News Summer 2010/11 doing the hang test.

mitch, i havent taken any photo"s of rob and brian"s machines. sat in them a couple of times, i think its ok to say here they were having a great time building them together. lots of laughs. and some quality machines getting produced. laughs like, 2 machines the same only 1 was painted ford yellow and the other is painted ferrari yellow. there wasnt half a drop of paint tint between.yet they both recon theirs was the best colour.so bloody funny to see them change the paint in the gun and spray more parts for the next machine. the paint shop guy that mixed the paint must of been shaking his head.

Crash , did you find out anything on jumpstarts ? I am wondering about it too, but don"t see anything posted except your question.On utube theres a couple of gyros taking off almost verically ,and landing too.Neil

Crash won"t need much training after flying army choppers and solo-ing gyros around Tennant dodging whirl winds.

When is some smart bugger going to invent and market a couple of solid fuel rockets that we can fit to our rotor tips and ignite by remote control after pre- rotating with our mechanical devises in order to push our rpm up to 300. Only need a 20 sec. burst and no reaction to the airframe --Yee-harr. I need to get airborne quicker now as iv"e been told I can"t use Aboriginal land which must be almost half of Australia. The funny thing is the aboriginals are the most easy going people I"ve ever met and love gyro"s. The CEO"s telling me this are money bleeding whites who think they are black. (I guess you"d have to be careful using the rockets in a dry area)
