"CLT" RAF, me build

[asra]

I broke the golden rule of never putting a gyro on a trailer. Broke one of the landing gear attach brackets.All fixed just reassembly now.

[Russell]

Come on muzzy.........share your pain about "the thing".........lucky it wasn"t worserer

[Brian]

For those who dont know, trailering is one very good way to see how well your gyro is built...specially over a dirt road! The good old Rosco is one of the few that will take the rigours of trailering.

[asra]

No pain here Russ......

[Russell]

Geez......if trailering is a no no for gyros, then me tinks that the / any gyro, was not strong enough in construction, trailer was not setup to suit, gyro was wrongly secured on trailer.have towed me tandem from darwin.....NQ several times. Darwin.....central qld area once.......darwin to cunnanarra once...all trips was return to NT. Now that"s thousands of km"strouble free.Didn"t that "hunchback" come to grief on the road as well. ( might pay to see the boyscouts to get tying knots sorted )

[Russell]

Geeeeeeezus.............loooong legs too.........Grrrrrrr

[Russell]

Me RAF fuel tank has sprung a leak right at the point where 1 of them alloy nuts is set into the tank ( top )..........so who KNOWS what the fix is.What goo.......maybe plastic weld if successful ..........thing is.....it"s gota be

[Russell]

Oye muz..........just noticed 20 plus viewings of "that pic".......Grrrrrr, yea that one..........looks like we got a bunch of romantically starved pathetics flying gyro"s ;D ;D ;D

[asra]

The problem with the Littlewing suspension is that as it compress"s the wheels have to move out as well as up.On the trailer they couldn"t so all the force was pounding the bottom attach brackets.One cracked so I replaced all four with thicker ones out of stainless steel.

[chook]

Ah Murray - what grade stainless?You wouldn"t reconsider using mild steel or "molly" for those brackets would you? (painted silver?)Regards......Chook.

[birdy]
