Flying

[asra]

That's right Tim, including rotor blade design. I have flown different brands of blades on the same machine, and found that they vary considerably in the stability, and trim spring to airspeed sensitivity.Chuck Beaty said that a guy he knew back in the 70's did some testing with springs of differing rates to achieve the best requirement to suit his machine.Where did Dewie say he had a problem?Aussie Paul.

And the Magni isn't CLT either. Amazing that it can be stable though according to some.

[asra]

Is that right Ken[?] I am still learning, so would you please add some usefull information to help me and the newbies like,What is your definition of CLT? Can a gyro be exactly CLT all the time? If not, why not, and what can be done about it?I take it that you have put a Magni through the pitch stability tests? Can ytou tell the newbies what the test criteria is?If anyone doesn't know, and wants to know what that means then email me privately at, paulbruty@lexicon.netI have put many gyros through this test. Some make it, some don't, and some are mediochre.Thanks for your input Ken.Did I answer your questions to your satisfaction[?]Aussie Paul.[]ps. Boy it has been hot over here in the West for a Ballarat boy!!!!! Hopefully going home Tuesday night.www.firebirdgyros.com

Another teadybear can't keep up with the sandgrouper's warm conditions ah Paul[][][^][?] it hasn't got crancked up yet. Its very mild where you have been try further north by 700 to 800 k's and 40 to 50 degrees. Des Garvin

Des, that's why I am going home!!!!!1 LOLAussie Paul.[]www.firebirdgyros.com

Paul,I'm not the one preaching CLT - perhaps you could tell us.My fat bottom will have a different CLT to your fat head.Cheers,Ken

[asra]

Ken, I am in favour of and "preach" as you call it, pitch stability. It does not matter how it is achieved.Aussie Paul. []www.firebirdgyros.com

[]Hello all Merry Christmas There will not be any photos taken from my red monster for a while as it has been grounded.It turns out that the s/hand Jack Allen blades I bought are in fact Larkin blades!!!!!! Very disappointing. (No disrespect to Mr. Larkin)They are very good blades to fly under. So I will be sitting around for a while until I come to terms with my optionsImage Insert: 40.43

Well at least I don't need to be green with envy any more...Cheers,Nick.

Sorry to hear that Dewie, another hub bar is probably the cheapest option.You never know how far you can go, till you get there !

[Ken Watson]

Just make a new one,its easy. Don't dismantle the old one until you clearly mark everything so it goes back in the same place. Mine now flies better. If you need advice ring me . Ken 0244643022 Notice that the pitch block has a .25"spacer so it can take a 1"bar. You have to machine .25"off the teeter block. Ken
