Default Dominator website?

Mike or anyone else...
The Rotor Dynamics website disappeared along with
Norm's forum.
Anyone know if there is a new one to take it's place?
I really wanted to read up on these machines.

George,
Yes our website was maintained by Norm and was lost when Norm's went down. There will be a new site very soon. I will give out the address when it is available.

Ah! Good! You are back on line!
Not much info there though.
Hopefully you'll add more details, pictures, pricing etc.
I need some info to sink my teeth into!

Thanks Neil!!
Some good info there!
There was a problem though. On your "gallery" page, I could only view
two of the movies, "Takeoff" and "Climb". The rest give me a
"FORBIDDEN, you do not have permission..." message.
I would like to have seen them all.

Neil, the new engine, is this still based on the Subaru
or is this an entirely new design?
Thanks Neil

The new engine is based on the EA82 Subaru, short block weighs only 32kg. I have new heads under development , four valve twin cam, twin plug. This will enable the engine to be cost effective and light weight! All my Dominators from now on will be running this new engine. The engine mounts are the same as the SUB4. Yes I see the problem with the downloadable video, I'll get my web man on to it. I am about to update the web site anyway with pictures of ALL the gearbox variants, these are now ALL available. Dominator is by far the leading brand sold in NZ, I have many happy customers.

Neil

Thanks Neil,
I'll check back soon and try the videos again.
By the way, IMPRESSIVE take off on the one I was able to view!
I live in an area where there are just about NO gyros around, so
the only time I see them fly is through videos such as yours.
Thanks!!

Neil, thanks for fixing the links to the movies.
What SPECTACULAR scenery you have in New Zealand!!!
How about doing a longer video and putting it on your site for us dreamers?
About a half hour or so of flying over those mountains and cliffs, but done
with two gyros, with the cameraman filming the second gyro from the
first!
Yeah, I know it would take forever to download a video that long,
but it would be WORTH IT !!
Thanks again Neil.

Yes George
I too was deeply impressed by some of the scenery in that video clip of Neils - and I live here too!
I said to Neil that it was amazing on it's own, let alone flying a Dom over all that rough country.
3 cheers for the Sub4!!

Gordon Gibson.

Aw gee, Gordon. You guys are making me depressed.
All we have to fly over here are New Jersey traffic jams
and housing developements!
LOL!

I have a full 1hour, 40 minute tape if you like, $25.00 NZ ( about 15 USD ) and I'll send you one.

Default Flying Over Traffic Jams

George,

There's nothing deopressing about flying over traffic jams. Just remember that, but for your ability to fly, you might be down there in one.

Cheers me right up!
