Does anybody know where to get plans/drawings for a 3-blade rotor head? Thanks

I can not imagine why any gyronaut would want to go down this path, unless they are educated enough, and competent enough to do all the work themselves. If that was the case, this question wouldn't have had to be asked.6432R said:Does anybody know where to get plans/drawings for a 3-blade rotor head? Thanks
For all the extra complexity and engineering involved, what do you gain in a conventional gyro? Unless you are an experienced gyronaut and understand the engineering involved, then all you will likely gain is a far more expensive rollover. There would be no difference in lift, and the difference in drag (efficiency) would depend on too many other factors to make a blanket statement.wulfefw190 said:What are your Idea's on why a 3rd blade is not worth it?

Im just starting to understand gyro's.

In this case it was intentionally induced, pretty scary stuff. I can't remember ever seeing a case of this in a Chinook happening accidentally, it's not very susceptible but as the videos show not impossible.
