Just wanted to publicly thank Barry and all the Carolina Barnstormers for their awesome hospitality. My son and I drove down Thursday from Raleigh and were blown away by everyone. Plus my son, age 12, was able to take his first gyroplane ride. Thank you Barry and everyone with the Carolina Barnstormers. We are looking forward to flying in the next time!

I also want to thank Barry and the gang from Carolina. The hospitality was fantastic and lots of gyros came to the event. Barry M. amazes me with his cross country trips from Western Massachusetts He has an interesting multi-blade prop that propels his Apollo. I had to check 3 times to really believe that what I was seeing was a radial on a gyro (Radials Rule!). Thanks Barnstormers for the great hospitality, and thanks Barry for hauling me up in the air on your modified Snow Bird Tandem! It was a lot of fun.

So, today I was flying a Columbia in North Carolina, practice approaches and touch and goes at Anson County Airport, when I noticed a gaggle of gyros in front of the hangars. Wish I could have stopped in to say hi! It's great to see the group.
I sold a type certificated Calidus to a guy up at Gold Hill airpark a bit to the northwest, hopefully he will get involved with your group.

Hello Barry. Really nice engine!!!!!!!!

You must be careful as the design is NOT AN AVIOMANIA anymore. It is a high thrust line... but this is not a big problem as the tail is big....

BUT... there is a really serious problem you need to fix. That is the TORQUE. You have a high torque engine... and the tail was designed for an engine that rotates THE OTHER WAY. So the angles on your tail are Reversed!!!! The tail now contributes TOWARDS the torque of the engine.

This is a SERIOUS hazard and needs to be rectified ASAP. Please email me and i can guide you how to do it...... Or talk to Heath..... He had to do the same on his tail.

you must also have some stick shake as you installed the top mounting bracket of the engine high on the mast and you lost some of the flexibility that was originally designed in to it.... a slider head should fix it IF THIS IS the case.

Feel free to email me if you need my assistance...

Nicolas......I replied to your email that you sent me regarding changes made to the gyroplane.

Details of the build will be publicly announced AFTER a complete testing period.

Thanks for your helpful input.
