Revised: DWs or Sycamores or Rotordynes?

[barnstorm2]

The people here on the forum are great and have been emailing me with used parts for sale to help me put my 2-place back together.

As a previous post states I used to have a set of Dragon Wings.

I do not want to loose any performace.

There are currently blade sets offered to me for sale that could save me money over new DWs.

One set are Sycamores (RAF like I am told)

another set are Rotordynes.

I have never flown any blades but McClutchens and DWs and they were on very differn't gyros so I have no personal experince evaluating blade systems.

Please share your comments.

Thanks!

Tim,
Stay with what ya know. DW's should be as inexpensive as a used set of RAF's. Just my personal opinion.

My rotor rpm was about (with full fuel) 330 to 335 RRPM 1 person, to 350 RRPM 2 persons and a wopping 370 with a heavy passinger.

I wonder if 28 foot rotordynes would be too small?

Mike, I LOVED my DW's.
Do you know if your dad gives a 'core' refund if I send him my old bent rotorhub bar?

Tim,
He does not give any discounts that I know of but, give him a call he might. I would just hate to see you spend money and not be as happy with your gyro as you wer before the incident.

Tim,
Yesterday I put my new 23' DW's on UW. The flight was so smooth I had to look up once or twice to see if the rotors were still on.

If you need 28', go with sportcopter.

David,
I think tim is concerned with expense and, he has stated he was happy with his DW's before they got wrecked.
