Gyro Kite

I went to the kite museum in Long Beach Washington a couple of weeks ago and took some pictures. Well, my phone camera decided it didn't want the pictures. So I was sad when I couldn't upload them for you guys. My Step-Dad went back to the museum and took these pics for me. What a guy!!
The rotor head intrigued me the most.
Enjoy.

I would have noticed that .
We must have just missed each other in Long Beach .
We went to the Marsh's Museum and seen Jake the Alligator Man .
I want one of those Gyro's .

I want one too. That's why I took alot of pictures. That rotorhead is sweet! Do you notice how it changes the angle of attack dependant on string tension?
Maybe someone on here knows where we can buy them.

I can see that the rotohead has some kind of ajustment to it , but I'd need to see it in my hands to figure it out .

its also a canard good idea for a gyroglider ,is posible??

Canards havent been used much in gyro's. I've only seen a couple, and I havent had direct experience with them.

I have one of these, it is only a 2 blade teetering rotor, but it is great fun at the beach,(steady wind) plus the rotors make noise just like a real gyro.

Oh cool. Thanks Scott.

I'm going to get a few of these for our chapter!

I'm trying to pull up plans now but I'm unsuccessful .

I got them Gary, I'll print you out a set. The local hardware store even carries balsa and basswood

Too cool Jon.
