No apologies necessary. We all get stumped now and then. Glad it was a simple fix.

Do you mean the text? Mine shows as black text on a white background.

Others have chimed in on this subject, but I don't think you're taking their advice to heart. Your lack of experience is leading you to solve problems that don't exist, create problems where there should be none, and over-estimate the performance of a two place gyroplane. Do you have any flight...

I agree. I learned to fly just before moving map GPS became common, and relied on paper maps. After planning my flight, I always kept aware of wind direction and my general location. "I'm 6 miles east of Wherever, and should be crossing river X in 15 minutes", etc. I continued this practice with...

I spotted this picture in an article from The Sun: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10039105/china-set-to-unveil-dongfeng-41-nuke-that-can-strike-us-in-30-minutes-at-70th-anniverary-parade/

You're welcome guys. We'll get a handle on the new software eventually.

I set the new user registrations to Manual Approval. I am looking into how to set up a Verified User Category after reviewing their initial posts. Be patient, both Todd & I have multiple real-world jobs to keep us busy.

I'm on it! I gotta do a little research on how this new forum works for spammers.

Try here Leigh: https://web.archive.org/web/20110724165212/http://www.gdt-systems.com/browse.asp?ID=18 And here is the link for what appears to be the last archive of the website, but you can use the slider on the date ranges near the top to see previous versions...

And in that case would the correct phrase be "retreating blade stall"?

And you can't go anywhere in a Cri-Cri?

Chuck, Would it be possible to use an automotive CV joint for a floating hub rotor? I've never torn into a CV joint, so I'm just throwing spitballs here...

Unless you specify that the aircraft must meet Part 103, it's misleading to say that you don't you need a license.

This is an interesting topic, and I appreciate the responses. I'll have to review this thread when I have a little more time.

Doug, The pitch pivot bearing looks like a standard stamped steel pillow block bearing. Wouldn't be my first choice, but probably strong enough. Timken PB3/4 Pillow Block

Jean Claude mentioned Coriolis in a post above. I have a question about it, but didn't want to side track this thread so I started another: https://www.rotaryforum.com/threads/coriolis-is-it-a-force-or-an-effect.1144631/

In the discussion of forces, real and imaginary, in the thread On the flapping and lead-lag blade oscillations (in German) Coriolis is mentioned. Is Coriolis a real force, or is it an effect that depends on frame of reference. I have always understood it to be an effect, but the more I think I...

In 2007 at Bensen Days we measured the thrust off set of several gyros. The Dominators had a low thrustline offset of 4 to 5 inches. Bart Hutchinson's Ultrawhite was 4 inches, and I believe it was Tim Verroi's 582 Dominator with pod that was 5 inches low. My Bensen was ~1/2" high with 6 gallons...

Wow! Clicking links and navigating is almost instantaneous now. It was so slow before that I didn't really enjoy browsing through the Forum anymore. Thanks Todd.

Mark, I get the same message. I sent an email to Todd to see what we need to do to get this straightened out.
