Thank you.

Hi Eric. I would really appreciate a copy of the Bensen Training Manual PDF. Mostly academic, as I'll soon be training in my own MTO Sport. But surely there must be something to learn from reading it. With the weather we have had this year, I have even considered building my Gyrobee as a glider...

A few days ago I finally got to check the radio, the Funke ATR 500. My wife inside the house with my Yaesu handheld and myself in the gyro on the ground in the back garden. Of course I used a frequency that should be ok for testing (122.500). My wife said, my mic volume was low, but I didn't...

Hi JM. The Swedish Rotax dealer is: www.lycon.se They have the gears listed - but I haven't asked, if they are in stock. https://lycon.se/rotax/sv/vaexellada-typ-b/12887-gear-set-224.html I can ask, if you wish. But I believe they are quite ok with you asking in english. I tried...

The gearbox is simple enough - I just changed rubber seals on my "A" box. If the bearings are shot - new are very cheap. A gear set is expensive, but can be bought. Also rubber seals, gaskets and spring washers. So what is the problem? Except the gear set costs €544 + tax (in Sweden). I...

When you write "Humlan" (Swedish for Bumble Bee), I think of the old Swedish-built single seater. And I know the swedes some years ago still kept a number of profiles and blades. So it must be those people you've found. I do hope the 6082 has been heat treated to at least T6.... Please take...

I ended up buying an AeroProp. Great price - much cheaper than a new HTC or IVO. The fuel system was not to my liking (false air), so I tried to change it, but the tank outlets for the connector tube were too close to the filters - I tried a solution that didn't work. And as soon as I have...

Hi Ben. You wrote: "I find this so interesting. You post a picture of a crash and there are 20,000 experts giving their expert opinion. I post a simple torque question on something that people do practically...

Hi Ben. I'll learn in my own used MTO Sport. Best of all worlds, I guess. I'll need no get-to-know flights when I get my license. Cheers Erik

Dave, sorry about that - the original poster is probably long gone and doing something else...

I am asking $200... That can't be too much. I don't know about the postage, though. Cheers Erik

Hi John - I haven't the foggiest idea of, what you're writing... I have bought both radio and helmet with GA mike (£60 extra). Cheers Erik

Good for you, Dave. But it was in response to the original poster...;) And he may be after something entirely different. Cheers Erik

Hi. It looks like it's available in Denmark: https://www.aeropartner.dk/shop/the-gyrocopter-pilots-854p.html Also the first book, Phil Harwood wrote: https://www.aeropartner.dk/shop/flying-a-new-855p.html I can help you buy the book here, if you'd like. Or you can buy my book (hardly used yet)...

Here is the one we use in Denmark - there is even a newer edition than this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gyrocopter-Pilots-Handbook-Flying-Exercises/dp/0955901847/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?keywords=gyrocopter+the+practical+exercises&qid=1577919377&sr=8-1-fkmr1 Cheers Erik
