Gentlemen,

Its finished!! Final testing on the Metro Launch Prerotator was completed this morning with a spin up of my 24's to 320rpm!!!!

After a few balancing runs up and down the runway to check it all out, I took to flight. A few adjustments to the trim and it was all over.

I cannot believe the performance of this aircraft!!!!!

It is a fully automated rocketship. I've never had so much fun pushing buttons before in my life. Its crazy!!! I cant stop looking at it!!!!

Well worth every minute spent. morphing this thing from a Monark to an Aurora.

Enjoy the pics. Let me know what you guys think of it.

Tango Victor.

Thanks Zack.

Hey Mike, I checked out your home page. I think thats me in the top right corner of your page flying my Butterfly when it was a Monark at Bensen Days last year. Am I correct?

That is a Bensen Days photo, I wasn't there though. I needed some pics to get my site started and got that one from here on the forum (borrowed), I liked the panoramic view.
 
Yea thats me in my orange jacket. Thats cool. I wore that very same jacket just today during the test flight of my new machine. Sweet!!
 
Very nice! I would love to have a gyro that could take off with almost no roll and drop in from 20+ feet. Way cool.
 
Looks nice Tim, Can't wait to see it in person. One thing I saw that I want to comment on is the supertrapp muffler ends, I had the same ends on my Rotax 912 on my plane and although it never failed it would have had I not removed it first, it was getting loose and ready to fall off. Believe it or not, the engine wasn't any louder with just a open pipe on my plane. I think Racer had a simular Supertrap that did fail and it busted his prop up pretty bad.... Elsewise looks good man
 
Gyroporn.... gorgeous machine. Fly safe (try not to smile all the time you will catch bugs in your teeth!)
