I'm pretty happy with my brushless prerotator. The biggest issue with mine is that I got rid of the Bendix as too heavy and problematical long ago so I have either a ratchet and pawl, one way needle roller bearing, or sprag clutch installed into the rotorhead to insure the belt or chain doesn't...

B-6 and B-7 are round tube if I remember correctly.

I'm using a MGL blaze EMS-2 for all engine info ($500), a older MGL airspeed/altitude combo, and a bike computer for RRPM. Very light. The flyfocus looks pretty nice too. Kanardia makes some nice stuff too that includes data logging.

What is the claimed difference in performance between the 2 Waspair?

That is some really nice material Greg, Where did you find it? I've looked and Mylar of that thickness is difficult to find.

The Bensen training syllabus is basically what I use to test out any new gyro or major modification I do. It is as much a build test as it is a learning procedure for a new gyro. I believe it is what any student should go through After getting 2 seat training and Before they attempt to fly their...

I think that JC's drag fractions are reasonable and serve to temper expectations of drag reduction, but in my limited experience, drag reduction can have some pretty good effects even if you aren't tackling the main source. I put a wing on my main gear last year and it has shown great advantages...

It Is a nice looking gyro Airhog ! I generally build my own gyros though. Certainly worth your price.

I'll take the 23' Dragon Wings if Airhog passes on them Ernie. You can call or text at 17349279779

I'm using a bike computer with cadence and it works pretty well except for very low RRPM. I don't see as many with that feature anymore. Have people had good luck with wireless units?

Looks like you are about 2 hours away Jeff.... That makes us next door gyro neighbors in Michigan... lol

You should try to attend Leigh, Great time ! Great people ! Great Flying !

Engine looks like the MZ 202.

I've talked to Denis a couple times and he said the NTSB and the FAA have been very good to him in this difficult time. I miss Loren and his infectious enthusiasm for gyros. I think it would be a bigger tragedy if we as a group don't learn and improve ourselves from it.

I thnk most would agree the Rotax engines are very good, and also rather high priced because of lack of good competition. A Chinese clone would provide some competition, but it seems like it should be much less than the clones current asking price for many reasons. Not only is its individual...
