Great Tim, I flew a single seat Dominator in NZ several months ago and was amazed that when I conducted the power on test the nose went up and the airspeed would have ended up at zero without forward cyclic control input. The Dominator seat could be lowered approx 8" to make it stable and make "getting in it" so much easier.A low thrust line machine is not as dangerous as a HTLM but why not get it right[?] Knowing the difference seems to be the problem. Tim, you said,This does not seem to be the case in the US, where they believe that the gyro should change pitch attitude immediately with throttle changes. I believe that it is only a small % of gyro people who believe that, and they would be Dominator pilots.Aussie Paul, enjoying the S/W of WA.[]www.firebirdgyros.com

Llewella posted, 5. I note Mahmood edited things on 15.5.06 - maybe he deleted the photos?I think that is the most likely reason. He was taking a little flack.As far as "other" posts???Possibilities are, the webmaster could be a little over zealous at times. Contrary to popular belief, Barry is human too!!![] Other moderators may have that power also.People can post and remover their posts with the edit function, and blame someone else!![}]Aussie Paul.[]www.firebirdgyros.com

I hope Mahmood has not been talked into deleting his posts by someone else. He appeared to me to be making a genuine attempt to gather information and to share with us his new found passion for flying gyros.I found his photos interesting.Tim McClureBroken Hill
