ENGINE PLACEMENT and THRUSTLINE

And this is why a "Jake Built" is worth 15% more than a similar gyrocopter with just his name on it. Can't wait to see the next incarnation, it's my understanding that we will be seeing the Peach State Rotorcraft club's Secretary, Mark Linn, enjoying his 2016(?) Jakester this year at the WREN's EAA sponsored Fly-In September 15, affectionately known to the local rotorheads as "GYRO CON" (a tip-o-the-hat to the now world-infamous Atlanta "Dragon Con", in case you didn't get the memo).
