Can this nice Gyro fly without DOORS?
Yes it can, but you need to remove about 8 screws at the hinge point. I understand it does suffer a bit on performance with the doors off.
FYI: I am in Italy right now at the Magni factory. I am here to learn how to build, and how to organize kits for the US. Luca and Marco built a new M24 this week - just finished Friday evening. Two new M24s are going to the airfield on Saturday for test flights, and I will finally get to fly the M24 - after Angelo wetting our desire so well!
I have over 700 photos of the assembly - now the BIG job of creating the Assembly instructions for the kits.
Also, the Luca and Marco and the crew just completed the first M16 for the British Section T. It is a beauty - bright red and white. It and a new M22 are going to the airfield this weekend for test flights also.
I've worked with Vittorio, Paitro, Luca, Lisa, Sonia, Guisi, and many of the factory workers before. But, I am even more impressed with the precision and quality and WORK they are now accomplishing in their new facility. Luca and Paitro are amazing - multi tasking a dozen things at one time, from design, assembly, training, paperwork, etc. - and the schedule for days and evenings for weeks ahead! When they get going, just stay out of the way, it was hard to keep up with just taking pics!
And the best news of all for me. I am a BIG guy! I haven't flown it yet, but I fit in both seats really well.
Got to go now, I'm off to Vittorio's house for some real Italian home made Laysonia. Vittorio is actually at the Paris airshow this week, but Mrs. Magni and all the family will be there for the party. They work hard and play hard here!
