Hey Chuck when you built your 3 blade gyro where you use a spider to control cyclic pitch to fly your gyro, what degrees aft did you set the head mast axis?
I am tempted to play with a tractor design using a helicopter style head with swashplate cyclic control.
I am thinking of using a 4130, .090 wall round mast to have a flexible mast to lower 2 rev shake. If I remember I think you had said that a round mast of this dimension would be a good choice.
Please direct me if I am wrong.
