I have seen gyros not too different from this one, back when I got started in gyros down in florida.

Last time I saw something like this, was at Wauchula about 2 years ago when the " Governer " showed up with his gyro creation

Default my gyroplane

it is easy for those of us that have been building and flying gyros for many years to pass judgement on a gyro that is built by a man is in a country that is not into gyros so that machine is the cutting edge of gyro art in china and with time and practise he will be one of us. It may be a good idea for a page on the forum with basic gyro info such as where masts should and shouldn't be drilled, what material is used , how many degrees of rudder and head travel and such, this way people in the far corners of the earth could at least have a starting point and if it makes it safer then it would be worth doing.

I don't find it easy to pass judgment at all. I wrestle with should I point out something that may hurt someone, or do I encourage the person to continuing with what he has and hope he discovers it before he gets hurt. I don't want to hurt the person before he even flys or discourage him from going after his dream.
I do find it easier to point out the same mistakes that I had to learn, in hopes that it will save them the learning experience I went through to learn it.

I hope my post do not sound condescending, they are not meant to be.

Friendly :

I am also not putting anyone down for what they though might be the way. and I am in no way a expert at this either. I only like to point some of the things out in case the person building does not what he or she is doing. If the person get hurt or worse than I would feel bad for with hold my comments......I hope is all I can say....

If you are not flying it is because you are dragging your feet.

Ron, I thought he was at Mentone, and yes, several of us tried to talk to him as tactfully as possible. Which is much easier to do face to face than in print.

I usually feel a responsibility to at least try to nudge a newbie toward a safer configuration so they have a chance survive long enough to "develop". I'm thankful that others helped me get past problems that were obvious to those with experience, but not to me at the time.

dong,
Please accept our recommendations as concern for your safety, not ridicule.
Send more pictures when they are available.

I translate it to Chinese Charactors:
