I'll have a look for it Graem which one did you want? The basic one that was about what to expect in basic training, or balancing?
I'll see if I can send you both.

Gidday Leigh,
back home and sort of getting back into routine. The weather has been terible, about the same as London, but a few degrees colder. Ive looked everywhere for your training program. Could you email me a copy.

Moving the teeter bolt position in relation to the center of lift of the blades or cone set, and you will get shake. One way to find out if your cone set is causing blade shake is to load and unload the rotors. This moves the COL or centre of lift above and below the teeter bolt. If it shakes more in the high g situation, the teeter bolt is too high. If it smooths out under high g's, the teeter bolt is too low. Holding the machine in a constant high g approximates straight and level because it gives the blades time to catch up and straighten out to normal. It is the response in the stick as one loads and unloads the blades and they are spinning up or down that gives you the information you need to know.

Hi causing vertical Shake accelerting Gyro rotor blade can you Explain please

Then do so on the thread Tom, not here where no one can see it. Posting your support here is great but it fails to return the thread to the top of the list or to encourage discussion.

I agree wholeheartedly with your petition.

Tom

Hi Darren it has been extremely disappointing but I will not make Bensen days. A combination of health and family issues. I had really looked forward to my fourth Bensen Days and meeting many old friends and of course making new ones. Hope that your new craft is coming together well and that you are making good progress. Have a great time. Cheers,
Leigh

I had long been a proponent that said the CG must be forward of the RTV. But, the data ( flight test and accident) has proven even that simple hypothesis to be wrong. I don't know all the detailed technical reasons, but I suspect one comment by Doug R. has a bit of a finger on it - Dynamic damping removes energy from the system.

But, for me to open conversation on this would bring real condemnation from the flat earth society here. I just don't have the energy or time myself any more for that.

Thanks, Greg

I still do believe that there is much we don't know about gyroplane stability and PPO, PIO, etc. The main one being the contribution that dynamic pitch damping has on static stability. Even the definition of DYNAMIC is not expressed accurately by the experts on these forums. Dynamic damping is not just limited to reducing oscillatons of a statically stable system. Dynamic damping also applies to simple, one-direction movement, such as a buntover. Dynamic damping takes the energy out of any movement, and if adequate, can make an otherwise statically unstable system, staticlly stable in the end.

Thanks, Greg

Hi Leigh,

Thank you for the resonse to Giorgos. Those are details I would not know either, so thanks from me also.

As I said in my post, I do not intend to engage with people that seem to mostly want to find fault.

I have seen the full test report on the M24, but that was sent to me confidentially by Magni so I'm not at liberty to distribute it. If this report is available publicly, I do think it might be good to provide a link on the forum. I do think, however, there are results in these flight tests that the skeptics will find fault with - even if they are done by real professionals.

Thanks again, Greg
