We decided that we had so much fun working on the last club gyro project (widely known as the "Monster Gyro") that we decided to do it again. A few guys in the club started talking about tractor gyros and we had some metal and hardware left over from the last project, so we decided to give it a try. This gyro will be a single seat, very light tractor gyro built using standard Bensen type construction methods. In fact, one of our club members has recently come into possession of a Bensen rolling airframe, so our prototype will be based on that frame.
2 masts, connected by plates at the top, the rear keel will be made longer, but we haven't gotten there yet. I think we must be getting better at this gyro building thing because after the first night of cutting and drilling, we were already able to sit in the seat and make engine noises. The engine for the prototype will be a Rotax 447.
