Sean,

I saw your post and just couldn't resist... ( me either)!!

Now you've got Hal throughly confused. He will probably stay up all night to try and figure that one out. I can say that now because I fly with Hal ever week from October through May in Florida. I'm now in Vermont for the summer so Hal can't step on my Gyro.


I agree with you're following statement:

"Angle of attack would only be a constant for a rotor if it was in still air and in a vertical descent. "

I have a lot of these "vertical descents" usually followed by a lot of repair.

Keep up the good work. I brought one gyro with me but haven't had time to re-assemble for the first flight in Vermont. Naturally it's got to stop raining first. (Maybe I'm in the UK )
