RE: LakeLand Autogyros

HI,

I forgot to mention the aerial pictures were taken with a TX450 heli with an HP digital camera. Too much weight for the little heli but if I can get the pictures in less than 5 minutes it...

LakeLand Autogyros

Hi,

Just want to thank Jim for another great week-end and it was good to see some of the old time autogyro pilots.

My gyros didn't get into Jim pictures so I have included them here. The...

RE: March Autigyro's Lakeland, FL

Hi,

I didn't make the photo hour for the autogyros so here are the two that I had fun with. As you can see one had a little problem but I still got in a few flights. The Miss2 is a converted...

RE: 5 n 1 on my DAG-1 Autogyro

Hi Dave,

Nice to see an onboard video. Does this gyro only turn left? I have a friend that did fly gyros and he could only turn left. He tried to make a right turn and crashed and I don't...

RE: twin electric motor auto, need suggestions/tips

Hi Mike,

It's pretty hard to calculate the rotor diameter for something that small but I would start with about 15" to 18" diameter. I would also use the SG6042 rotor blade profile instead of...

RE: twin electric motor auto, need suggestions/tips

Hi,

I would recommend a 3 blade single rotor and if balanced correctly it should fly. Because your control will come from the motor thrust, the rotor could be fixed without pitch or roll...

RE: Now flying successfully with a teetering head

Hi Emilo,

I like the simplicity of the teetering head and it's one less rotor blade. My Wallis gyro has a swashplate and also a teetering head. It's the most stable gyro that I have ever...

RE: Now flying successfully with a teetering head

Very good Emilio:)

If you remember Hal debolt, he built a large tractor type gyro and used a teetering head. It also had a single central hinge. His plan was to just lift off the ground and...

RE: Electric pusher, teetering rotor

Hi Emilio,

Nice flying pusher. Does it have only tilt on the head or does it have pitch control also.

New AutoGyro

Hi,

Just had the first flight on this conversion. It was originally the Hobby-Lobby Miss2 and about the same size as the PT25 but build much lighter. I'm using the Himax HC2812-0850 for power...

RE: Prerotator devices

Hi Mark,

I think you guys have worked hard and developed some great gyros and certainly helped the autogyro community. I like the swashplate control and the pre-rotor but it's certainly not...

RE: Prerotator devices

Hi,

Did a little flying today but not much. I was the only one at the field as the wind is really blowing. But I did try the PTGyro which has the Swashplate control and I removed the horz stab...

RE: Prerotator devices

Hi Joel,

I have two of the PTGyros and one PT25 and I think they are great. However, I also converted a Sig Senior Kadet and a 1/3 scale Cub to a single rotor gyros with the flapping blades...

RE: Prerotator devices

Hi,

While Mickey was developing his gyros, I build a Wallis gyro which has the swashplate and pre-rotator and this was developed by Col. Ken Wallis back in the 70's. This is about a 10 lb....

RE: Prerotator devices

Hi,

Another plus for the pre-rotor, it allows you to really balance and check the blade tracking right on the bench. The Brushless Feigao will allow you to really spin those blades but you...

RE: Prerotator devices

Hi,

If you want to install a pre-rotator on the PTGyro, it's not difficult, thanks to Mickey's engineering. First, the PTGyro uses about a 2.4 mm rotor shaft and the PT 25 uses a 3.3 mm or...

RE: PTGyro Video

I agree, you can do some things to the PT to make it more responsive, however I've always flown it with 2" wide SG6042 blades, however it's flying now with only two blades 2" shorter...

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...
