Default RE: SPAD Gyrocopter

Hi boberos
Thanks for your advice and concern. I was ready to order a bunch of new blades but then suddenly changed my mind. I can burn a fortune in new blades for this type of flying device. The nature of the beast is that occasionaly it will roll over and break the rotor blades. Too much weight way up high. I have better things to do with my money than spend it on blades. I scrapped the whole project! I'm too used to building and flying my SPAD planes where the occasional mishap causes no damage. I may even build another Flying Lawnmower. On the rare occasions when that would roll over (I thing once in 5 years) there was zero damage. I don't count a broken blade as damage. Thanks again.
