Can't wait to have them here in Texas. Looking good.
Are those the two Texas Machines?Can't wait to have them here in Texas. Looking good.
The new tail overall allows the tail to be quite a bit more effective.
That sounds very encouraging, although quite subjective.
However, after reading the many threads from the links to old threads from CB and Doug Riley, I now know that torque roll is a real hidden threat and easily fixable. I did not know that till about after three years of gyro flying.
With all due respect, in the light of all the threads and discussions we've had regarding this, is your new tail torque roll proof?
Fingers crossed. Yes.

How are things coming along? Time is running out, will AR-1 be completed for Sebring?
Since you plan on being @ Sebring, can I assume that you'll be at Bensen Days?
Yes we will. PRA is bringing state of the art equipment and Tim Chick is going to be making videos and I'll be taking pictures. We will be placing goPro's on as many of the rides we can and using the SoloShot video tracking system for the ground view of the flight. They will be posted on PRA's web-site.Would some one take a lot of photo not able to be there. So trying to live vicariously through the Internet. Lol . Would really like to see the new Gyroplanes out there.

Hi Abid - is that the genuine first production AR-1 or an earlier AG-1 ( N914AG ) marked up ( and maybe modfied/adapted ) to represent the AR-1 - thanks
