Now that the Wallis is flying probably as good as it's going to get, I'm putting the rest of the parts on to make it look pretty. When it's done I'll upload a picture.

In the meantime, do we have any members here or know of any other members that have a Wallis. It was made by Micro-Mold back in the 70's and I have no idea as to how many were made. I'm curious as to how many are still around the world and if anybody has one flying.

Thanks,

Phil

What a coincidence. I just received an email this evening from a guy in the UK looking for some rotor blades for his Wallis. Here's some of his email:

"Hi, I have a micro mould model wallis auto gyro the rotor diameter is 63in. I would like to buy some pre finished blades and try to get this model flying. I have lots of modelling and aeronautical experience and realise this will be an interesting challenge."

I'm going to refer him to this forum. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to find out you have yours flying.

Thanks for the reply. If you would like, give the fellow my e-mail address so that I can discuss the Wallis in more detail.

pploof@hotmail.com

If this fellow is ordering a set of blades then he probably has broken the original set. Should be interesting to hear his story.

I'm glad that you responded as it reminded me that I need a spare set of blades for my Wallis so I have just placed the order with you.

I'm still flying with the original blades and it's a miracle that I haven't broken them. The original blades look like a clark Y but I sanded a little reflex on the underside near the trailing edge. It will be interesting to see how your blades will perform. The original blades are 30" long and 2.5" wide.


Phil,

I've passed your email on to him. Thanks for that offer. I've suggested the 2-3/4" x 36" size to him for his Wallis per your input. It would be great to hear from other Wallis owners out there too.
