Hi everybody,
My name is Jérôme and I am a new "gyronut".
I'm building a Cierva C-30 gyro, made with Eduardo Pinilla's plan (aerotech magazine), with some modifications (increased rotorspan, simplified hub/rotor head, ASP 70 FS engine and aerobalsa blades).
I would like to use same hub as the Kellet of Arizona Company: a simple fiberglass delta. so my question is what is the thickness and dimension of this fiberglass hub?
Thanks a lot for helping me.
I will post some pictures when the gyro is finished.

I would use about 1/8 " fg.. That is the size that A of A use.. Thats what I use on my bigger Autogyro's.

I have 1/8" plate of fiberglass, and it seems very very stiff. I don't mind how the blade can flex the plate. I have 1/16" plate too, and the flexibility is quite good. Is this thickness good for a 67" rotorspan?

Jerome,
Like I said before I would and I use the 1/8" plate. On 50" blades .Your blades will flex some.

Jim

OK thank you Jim. I will try 1/8" hub.
