      Don't want to burst ya bubble Bob, but move'n the mains forward will lengthen your TO roll, not shorten it.Ignorance is bliss............but only till you realise you were.You can always get the answer you want, if you ask enough experts.

        Well from what I've been told Birdy the gyro needs to rotate back to the tail for take off.... and mine wasn't doing dat , so I figured I'ed put the mains at the bottom of the mast like they were to begin with .... we'll see what happens , at this altitude I'll be lucky to get off the ground, yet alone have a short take off run ! hehehehehehe ! .....Ozy.... UH ? what you on about now ? save as web ready ? I dunno I can save a pic in just about every form ya want but never tried that'en ! heheheheheheheI usually save it as a JPG bitmap file after useing Correll Photo Paint to get it the size and all that i want .... should i try something else ? there's a list about a mile long that i can save it as ! ........what do you guys use anyway ? GIF ? or jpg or what ? Bob........if You folks can get me to postin Pics I'll show that O'l Coonass Sonny J how to do it !"

          G'Day GentsJust a suggestion, one of you blokes might offer Bob to send a pic to you via e-mail. Then you could post it for him.I know that works.Cheers SonnyIntelligence is not a privilege,it is a gift and should be used for the good of mankind.

                  Ozy and the rest of ya .... I made a post in the builders section entitled " Re workin' her one last time" or something like that ....I posted 3 pics there the finished Original , the tail dragger version and the one above ... I spent 3 years trying to get the tail dragger into the air , but only succedded in flopping it over on its side ... Finally some kind feller on the RRF site told me what the problem was, the COG was too far behind the mains and it would want to swap ends...... which it did try to do with regularity ! though the Idea was great the design was flawed , so I couldn't see anyway to save it so i made her back into a trike again. for ground stability you couldn't ask for better ! I slid brod-side on the pavement about 4 times without it flipping over ! .... just couldn't get her to go stright for long !!!!!! hehehehehehe....Hopefully all that is behind me now , and I do believe i am on the right track finally ! with the trike Landing gear and the drop down keel and the thrust line lowered , she should do great now ! I can't wait to try her ! bound to be a big improvement ! C ya !Bob....." Momm'a alwayse told me , Son the impossable is only a little bit Harder... and ya know I do believe She was RIGHT ! "

                      Now the Gyro has a 4' Hub bar and a bigger front wheel and has shed alot of weight ....we'll see how it preforms when I take her out for hops now ! c ya !Bob......"

                        Bob,How much negative incidence do you have on that elevator?? When you look at the photo it seems flat to the run way when you're nose is fully up, measure the angle and check that it isn't too steep. ON what others have posted here it should be 0 degrees to about 2 degrees down at the front, yours looks like about 7 to 10.Hope this helps,Nick.

                          Thanks Nique Naque ! I thought the same thing myself !... it measured out to be right at neg 2 degrees... I have re set it and got about 3/4 to 1 degree now leading edge down ! ..... that was one of the things i also changed that i forgot to mention ... because it seamed STUCK to the pavement ..... and I have had to push the stick a long way foward to get it to come off the tail wheel to ballance on the mains ... I think the HS had alot to do with that as well ! .... we'll see when I take her out ... maybe today if te weather is good ! C ya !Bob....."
