RE: PTGyro Video
Hi,
Yes, it was very gusty today and I was a little nervous. I was going down wind and I made the turn back into the wind and it just spun around. The PTGyro is the original first gyro that came out and it's a lot smaller than the PT25. Now that I have Begi and the PTGyro flying with the same head I can make some comparison. The PTGyro is considerably more stable. Mickey suggested that I remove the horizontal stab and I probably will try reducing the size first and see what happens.
Overall, I'm very happy with the way it handles and the pre-rotator solves a lot of problems. I would encourage anyone else to try the conversion as I think you will be very pleased. I know by some, it may not be considered a pure autogyro, however I just enjoy the flying and attention that it gets.
Jim, I thought you had a couple of Mickey's gyro. How do you think they compare with the 3 flapping blades.
