I don't think the translator is working today I am getting nothing but ???????? question marks. Hope he understands! ?????????,???????? :noidea: I don't get it!

 

[kss1000e]

Propellers are not equipped with anti-, as well as I would like to know the rotary-wing aircraft take-off method?

116 kg weight, 100 kph max speed, and 20 Liters is very very close to our ultralight rules. 116 kg = 255.2 vs our 254 100 kph=60 mph vs our 63 mph and 20 liters is a bit more than 5 gallons.

I found video on youtube of him running his gyro, hope he don't mind me posting!

Redbaron :
I would say there is a few things that need attention if you ask me...What do you say?

1. Muffler is loose.
2. When he moved the cycle the head didn't move.
3. The cheek plates on the rotor head are not going through the mast.

Redbaron Thanks 呵呵

 

[Redbaron]

he's probally still working the bugs out, I'm not here to judge! I am curious what engine he is using? :noidea:

It looks like a lot of excess plates and not enough of braces. What is holding the seat up. The rudder is very small. I hope he is safe with it. Best of luck.

Well he did one thing right. He came to the forum and has a lot of eyes on his gyro with the opportunity to get, and hopefully use, a lot of very good feedback and suggestions.

If he understands just that, then he has made a huge leap forward in getting his machine off the ground and into the air safely.

I think he is working in a place where there probably isn't a lot of help around and I wish him well with his endevour.:yo:

Redbaron :
I'm not here to judge either but just saying things might help someone out that they think is fine! Kind of like our H/S........:Cry:
But we got it right with a little help from others......I call it growing pains...

Resasi :
You are right about that!

Any CFI over there in China?

I have seen gyros not too different from this one, back when I got started in gyros down in florida.

Last time I saw something like this, was at Wauchula about 2 years ago when the " Governer " showed up with his gyro creation

it is easy for those of us that have been building and flying gyros for many years to pass judgement on a gyro that is built by a man is in a country that is not into gyros so that machine is the cutting edge of gyro art in china and with time and practise he will be one of us. It may be a good idea for a page on the forum with basic gyro info such as where masts should and shouldn't be drilled, what material is used , how many degrees of rudder and head travel and such, this way people in the far corners of the earth could at least have a starting point and if it makes it safer then it would be worth doing.

 

[Friendly]

I don't find it easy to pass judgment at all. I wrestle with should I point out something that may hurt someone, or do I encourage the person to continuing with what he has and hope he discovers it before he gets hurt. I don't want to hurt the person before he even flys or discourage him from going after his dream.
I do find it easier to point out the same mistakes that I had to learn, in hopes that it will save them the learning experience I went through to learn it.

I hope my post do not sound condescending, they are not meant to be.

 

[Dirtydog]

Friendly :

I am also not putting anyone down for what they though might be the way. and I am in no way a expert at this either. I only like to point some of the things out in case the person building does not what he or she is doing. If the person get hurt or worse than I would feel bad for with hold my comments......I hope is all I can say....:focus:

Ron, I thought he was at Mentone, and yes, several of us tried to talk to him as tactfully as possible. Which is much easier to do face to face than in print.

I usually feel a responsibility to at least try to nudge a newbie toward a safer configuration so they have a chance survive long enough to "develop". I'm thankful that others helped me get past problems that were obvious to those with experience, but not to me at the time.

dong,
Please accept our recommendations as concern for your safety, not ridicule.
Send more pictures when they are available.

Thank you for your suggestion, I will be fat picture

kss1000e :

Is this the only bolt that goes through the rotor head?
