New gyro

This is the new Girabet IIc. More info in http://www.airbet.net/girabet/girabet%20IIC.htm

Bit like an open top Sparrowhawk.

It may be just me but that mast looks real small for that machine...how about a pic of the single seater in the background

[Brent_Brown]

It looks light. What is the empty weight?

The mast looks round.

The photo on the page you get from the link is VERY photoshoped. They need to change that.

Good to hear new gyro designs are coming out.

It would be interesting to see the specs in English.

The mast looks round.

It is round. Airbet uses round-section tubing for the airframe.

[Racer]

Looks like Santa Claus style gyro.... No more reindeer

[WHY]

Wonder what the wind turbulence is like in that cockpit and how it will effect control.

Wonder what the wind turbulence is like in that cockpit and how it will effect control.

Turbulence will be probably strong, unconfortable and very tiring, save for very short flights. And the airflow to the prop will be probably affected too. This gyro is probably the result of the addition of a (nice-looking) fairing to the open side-by-side two-seater that Airbet has been building for some time.

Sport Girabet II

The evolution of Girabet II has taken to the creation of the cabinado two-seater.

For the lovers of the high benefits and the comfort of trip. In order to realise displacements of long-haul.

With a aerodynamics very taken care of, we have secured a spectacular cruise speed, and consumptions much more reduced.

The apparatus takes control double, being possible to pilot it from both seats.

Sport Girabet II is an autogyro very light, easy to pilot, thought for takeoffs and extremely short landings. It can operate in tracks without preparing or ways.

The apparatus takes of series all the necessary instrumentation, as well as the fairings of wheels, brake of parking and blockade of rotor. The motorization is the responsibility of Rotax 912 S of 100CV.
Cruise speed: 80-150 Km./h
Terminal velocity: 190 Km./h
Minimum speed maintaining flight level: 40 Km./h
Prelanzador: 250 rpm
Takeoff (wind 0): 25 mts.
Landing (wind 0): 0-1 mts
Climbed: 1200ft/min. Autonomy: 3 hours

The main gear looks a bit thin, no triangulation either. Kinda looks like the wheels are sprawled out under the weight. Wonder what they are made from?

[GyroDoug]

I'd like to see one and see how it flies. I say bring it on. Bring one to Mentone and show us what it can do. It looks to me to have some interesting design ideas, only time and closer scrutiny will tell us how well it was designed.
