Pavegeno, You may want to contact Dayton Dabbs at Lonestar Magni Gyro in Taylor Texas. He is a Magni dealer, gyroCFI, DPE. He travels to Italy with and without clients every year to build Magnis at the factory. He can answer any Magni questions you may have. Ray

Never assume another individuals liability - Aviation is an exercise in risk assessment & NOTHING is SAFE
47 years ago my dad showed us kids an old film of a bunch of guys and my dad in an old Steward Davis Jet Packet having a ball.
"See those guys? Half of them are dead" I've laid to rest old bosses and friends who did nothing close to hazardous or illegal.
That's what aviation is, a risk

Hi Terry on your Dominator, are you comfortable with welding ? And have you made firm decision on the
power plant? gyro's generally are built around the engine choice, with weldments makes it difficult to change your mind
once you start the build. I can get laser cut parts based on the 500 series Rotax. and caster front gear.
