Is that shrink wrap or fabric on the tail? What about prop blast?

Looks like the verticle stab and rudder are fabricated with (balsa) wood and covered with a heat shrink plastic like we used on model airplanes?

I like the suspension on the cart. Butterfly influenced ?? maybe.
Would you post pictures of the gyro closer up. It is very hard to tell much about it when the file sizes is so small. I would like to see more of your prerotor and your nose wheel setup. How does it steer?
I think I see some rudder links to the wheel but not sure.

Looks like its a little tail heavy.
I like the stab/rudder. I have built them up like that and skinned them with luan. They are tough. I think mono-kote would be lighter and stronger.
I like the in-hub motor on the trike.

I dig the simple suspension on the trike. Be good on a whirly...

The engine looks like a four stroke, thats good. One very serious problem though, those front strut supports are going to vibrate like crazy at several frequencies. going to have to dampend them some how, and needs a real horizontal stab.

Rice paper perhaps?
