Hello. i have just registered on this site. i am located in the UK. I am one of a very small number of people who have built there own machines here in the UK. i am currently near completion of my mk4 machine (BUG MK4). if anyone has any questions about what you can and cant do in this country, ask away........

Buggy,
Very cool! What an interesting rotor. How does it handle?

No idea as yet. What you see is a full size mock up of the rotor system just to demonstrate its reqrd size, number of blades etc. Its an idea i have been working on for some time. The objective being to provide very high inertia with a low overall weight rotor system. I made a five feet dia scale model of the rotor which was evaluated by FDA at a local university. the results were positive, but untill i can test a full size rotor i have no idea what nasty gremlins might appear. I built the mk4 machine especially to take the ring rotor it weighs 365 pounds and is powered by a watercooled Yamaha fsr. In order to test hover the machine i am making a pair of composite blades. Manufacture of the ring rotor ell follow later. thanks Bug
