G'day Nocholas, I think the Gyrobee is a CLT machine but I will check again. I would like to do a TIF, and I need to join a club. I am in Brisbane. You also mentioned these half built machines that people have given up building, can you give me some more info although I would imagine building one from scratch would be very rewarding. Any input regarding which club to join, and where can I view some of their activities is appreciated.ThanksCheersKonkvenetis

Kon,Most of the ones I know of are still in the process of being built, one still in progress at about 5 years from what I know of, however, I'm talking of the club I go to. There are others by people who've done them in as little as three months, it is all up to you and how determined you are to push it through.From what I see it is people who have the idea of building one to do it on the cheap, whilst it is true that they are probably one of the least expensive aircraft to build, the vital components such as rotor blades / hub bar, head, propellors, engines, gear boxes usually can't be built at home [there's a ready made market if you can] and this is where the costs lie, the superstructures [keel, mast, tail, seat] are quick and easy, but tacking on the other things takes your time up in working to pay for them, this is usually where the dreams turn into nightmares and the project takes alot longer to complete. If you can get through this you should be roundly applauded, it is not an easy row to hoe unless you're well financed and earn lots of dosh or have lots of time to expend on such a project.Where some people really kill their dreams is when they decide to 'home engineer' a gyro, be it a tractor or pusher gyro.. it is good to see you've chosen a more wise choice of selecting a ready made design which is known to work. You can progress from there once you know what to do.Take Eric's [Echo] suggestion and go to the SEQGC to find out heaps more before you launch into a build, ten minutes of chatting to the members can save you a lifetime of trouble. They may even have membership application forms and the like to get you started with ASRA, and you might even be able to go for a TIF.Did you read the 'what not to do' section? Please do so if you haven't.Hope this helps,Nicholas TomlinAlarmist - www.alarmist.com.au - we scare for you

G'day Nicholas,Where is the " what not to do" section, Have been trying for a while but cant find it.Almost ready to join ASRA. The Gyrobee Engine Thrust line is 1 - 2 inches above the vertical centre of mass, the designer recommends 40 - 50 hp engine more than likely Rotax 447 and it has a rather large Horizontal stab.I am also looking at the Hornet very similar to the Gyrobee but better looking, same weight. I believe the Australian standards allow 560 kg AUW which is a lot heavier than the American around 300 kg. Anyway I need more info before I start anythingCheersKonkvenetis
