Bensen B8

[engext]

Gday Gents,
Darren form Melbourne Australia. I just purchased a partly completed Bensen B8. It has a rotor head and the frame is mostly complete. I'm trying to locate as much information, drawing etc to try and complete the machine. The first item I would like to get a hold of is a material listing. Also any good quality pictures would be a great help.

Thanks and I hope to hear from you all soon

Cheers
Darren

Thanks Jeff,
Found some real good info there. I also found a few drawings that were missing from the originals that come with the machine.
Cheers

Hello,

I´m new here and I put on all my hope into this forum: I am in Germany, where the Bensen-Gyroplanes regrettable wise are seldom, so that I would be happy, if I could get answers on some of my questions here in this forum.

I´ve got all the plans about the B-8, but some details are missing. I need all details showing the conversion from B-8 to B-8M, including the instructions for the "hangtest" procedure (You say so?), and I need the drawings about the whole joystick-control mechanism. Can anybody help?

The link to gyrowiki.com in #2 I cannot open...:mad:

Regards Steffen

http://www.vortechonline.com/You can buy a set of the Bensen plans here but they will not include a materials list. If I remember correctly someone on the forum scanned in the plans and have them available as files that could be emailed but I do not remember who. The plans from vortech do show the overhead stick. Ken Brock kb2 plans are no longer available unless someone wants to part with their copy.

Neither of the plans give details of the rotor head or stick control.

I have the plans in PDF format if you want them, I could e-mail them.
