Of the pusher side X side gyro that you can buy the blunt nose is what makes it search for a path in the on coming air. This body looks for a project side X side.

That appears to be for a powered parachute. It would probably be a pretty doggy PPC, too. (Weight is not your pal with those).

Also, why enclose something that goes 26 kt flat out?

If what you're saying is, this bullet-nose fuselage style might be more suited to a stable gyro than the wedge-shaped noses of current side-by-sides.... maybe.

That pod on a gyro frame looks like a prime candidate for some serious yaw instability. How large of a vertical stab/rudder do you think it would need?

Gentelmen,

this is the page of the Polish manufacturer of UL, making a professional paraglider trikes and Suzuki conversions.

The pic above is from this page, just have a look....

Their enclosed trike looks like ready gyro cabin, but of course
it is a long way to have a flightworthy machine.

Yes on a gyro and I would use more tail than most two place side X side you see flying now.

If Dennis will work with me I will be the USA distributor for his products. Here is the pod for a single place if needed.

Brent,

you mean Bilsam, their trikes, planes and engines.
They still didn't try anything in direction gyro.

It is still in the cradle here in Poland, but taking up slowly.

Nice Gyro!

I like the yellow color esp.

PTKay that is right they do not have anything to do with gyros but I do and that is how I plan to help them. I will have one of the PPG in a week. The next thing will be a motor from them to go on my two place tractor gyro. That I will sell as a kit. I would like to use one of the motors on my two place pusher too but they don't want to do anymore R and D to get a the PSRU inverted. So will work on that for the pusher gyro out there that want one. I will be able to get the motors at a lower compression so we can use 92 gas. pump gas is getting high around here so 100LL might not be a bad thing to use and get the higher compression. They will have a 16 Vaulve 1600 cc motor too. They tell me it will be 130 HP, and under 200 pounds wet.
