Thanks For the comments. Hey Mitch I gave Larry the box my Rotax came in for him to send you a engine. It's a small world.:^)

[animal]

[Greg Mitchell]

G'Day Scott,

The Butterfly Effect Conectivity at work......Yep Larry sent me a engine in your old box and I sent it on to NZ with another engine in it....going on a GyroBee with a T Tail I made for it. Bloke name of David King. I'll post a pic when he is ready to solo.

Small world indeed.

Enjoy Scott. Fly Safe.

[Joe Pires]

Super!!! Enjoy yourself.

Great Looking Butterfly! Keep us posted on how it flies.
How long was the build time?

[Kingchocolate]

Thanks everyone for the comments. It is hard to believe I have a monarch. It comes in so many nuts an bolts and parts. It gradually turns into a butterfly. :^)
It was about a 5 month build. My gold was to put one peace a day together and keep up with my honey does. Larry was a great help. He always had a answer for my questions. I also would like to thank Friendly for his help and support.
Now I need to get my airworthy and work on a trailer for it.

Thanks
Scott

Good photos, Mark. Where's the video?

Tim,
I did take some video of Scott making some crow hops. I let him take my video camera home to show the video to his wife and his exchange students. I was really impressed with the slow landings and take offs compared to my KB4. He got me thinking about longer rotors.
I will posts a short video as soon as I get my gear back.
Also Scott,
I was told, I am approved for the gate pass at Marksville if I have a radio in my gyro. I think Bill is trying to work in an Oct flyin in Marksville. So keep your weekends free

[Kingchocolate]

Thanks For the comments.
I'm just starting to try it out but I'm very impress with it so for. It rides so smooth it is hard to tell when the tires first come of the ground. With the supper slider head and springs on the push tubes you do not have any stick shake. It lands much easer then my Bensen. I was making down wind with a x wind landings. I have not tried out the G force landing gear yet. I will have to play with it some more to get use to all the new things. But I love it so for.

G'Day Scott,

Fantastic. You can tell how good it is Eh Mate!

Have fun and fly safe,

Mitch.

[Timchick]

Scott,
Do you have any photos of the springs on the push tubes? I hadn't heard of that option before.

[Kingchocolate]

Here you go Tim.

[gyromike]

What are the springs capturing?
It looks like rod end bearings mounted sideways.

It is Mike.
Tim , I tried to upload on utube tonight but it was down for maintence. I have windows Vista now. Do you know what video format is best for utube? I tried yesterday and could not upload anything. Maybe that is why they are doing maintence.

[Timchick]

From that photo it looks like it has springs above and below the rod end. Interesteing.

Mark, I think I've been uploading videos in a wmv format lately. Someone told me to try mpg 4 (?) but my software will not convert to that.

[Kingchocolate]

Hey Tim,
There is a spring on the top and bottom. It allows it to have about a 1/4 inch or less travel through a nylon bushing.

Tim,
I don"t have a tripod and this is just hand held.

Good video, Mark. What format did you end up using? It looked good.

[Friendly]

Tim ,
I used what you suggested , but I down loaded the Gear plug in from You Tube and it worked pretty quick. I tried the same format yesterday and had no luck, I tried MPG1 and AVI, anyway it is on you tube and Scott has a great little machine.
He was flying a bit behind the power curve, but it was light with those big 24 foot DW's. I sounds as though he never gave the 582 much throttle at all.
He will probably be flying the pattern this weekend. I used to not like the tail, but I have to say, it really grows on you.
