I think anyone who replaces a 1" thick aluminum plate with one made from 1" thick 4130 steel probably
knows nothing about aviation design,or safety.(4130 is 3 times heavier than aluminum)
The aluminum plate was replaced because a 1/2" bolt was overtightened and caused the plate to crack.
He did not redesign a plate of the same weight ,he just used the mentality
of lets make it heavier,it will be safer that way,when actually he made his Gyro more dangerous.
