Hello Forum!
I was reading about the Rotorwing-Aero 3D-RV. I have the plans from the Peach State site. The landing gear is of the Bensen straight bar type mounted on the drop keel. There was a comment on the Wiki page for the 3D-RV that indicated a landing gear that "was later developed into a high landing gear to set the vertical center of gravity to the prob hub height "
I would like to understand what that means. Chuck Beatty's three blade gyro had the gear riser going all the way up near his head. IS that what is meant? To position the upper link such that the pushover tendency in a lateraI direction is reduced? i think I read an article about Chuck's machine and why the LG was built the way it was on his three blade unit.
OR could it just be that the Wiki article is incorrect?
Thanks in advance.
