RE: Prerotator devices
Hi Gang, By the way, this is not about "being like Mickey". It is like being about Juan De La Cierva and Harold Pitcairn, smart fellows who realized back in the 1920's that a prerotator brings the maximum potential out of the autogyro. I do not wish to fly a helicopter, but to simply fly the best gyroplane possible for the buck. Gyros should not need wind or taxiing for spin-up, as shown by Mr. Nowell's (and Mr. Ploof's) clever designs. There is clearly a better way, and it is great that fellow modelers are sharing their ideas with all of us. The choice to use the new technology ultimately rests with you. I do not knock hand launching or taxiing. I also appreciate the hard work and long hours it takes to develop new designs. Thanx to all for sharing these new innovations....... Charlie Anderson
