This inaccurate statement below ( in BOLD) .... from another thread discussion on rotor systems really irritated me ... pretty sad coming from some one I respect & whose product I applaud! ... I sat on it for a week & now decided it needs to be addressed!
"We manufacture our machines in the US when we can easily go to India or China where we can manufacture the same machine for $15k less per unit at least. Others certainly use this strategy. Titanium with a Chinese factory, AutoGyro with composites from factory in Slovenia in Eastern Europe same one as Trixy gyro uses. My personal commitment to US manufacturing is not just lip service and beat my chest type."
Here are the FACTS about the manufacture of the Titanium Explorer gyroplane!
1. Fully built & assembled, test flown IN AUSTRALIA ... by Australians!
2. TAG Aviation carbon composite rotor blades on a carbon spar ...FULLY MADE IN AUSTRALIA by a helicopter rotor maker!
3.THERE IS NO "CHINESE factory" building the gyroplane!
4. The Titanium metal components are made in the Ti. metal factory located in China ... where Boeing,Airbus & RollsRoyce engine aircraft components are also manufactured ... it is one of the worlds top Ti metal welding facilities with the largest annealing oven ... ensuring the metal is tempered properly!
5. I f some one reading this has a problem trusting components made in China .... I expect you will not fly in Boeing Airbus & RollsRoyce products without GREAT anxiety ... "because they are made-in-China"!!!!:lol::wacko:
6. The Titanium components are expensive ... paid for in U$ .... trust me .....that does NOT make a cheap gyroplane!
7. When trying to find Australian composite businesses to make the bodies, tails ...... as soon as the word "for aircraft" was uttered ...GO AWAY NO WAY!!! ... no one would do it "in country" ... due to the litigious system ...as we have in good oleUSA! ... so the body composite work , seats & seat covers are also done by reputable businesses in China!
THUS in the manufacture of Titanium Explorer gyroplanes ...YES - some of the components come from manufacturers located in China! ..... this does NOT / should NOT equate with the " made in China" negative stereotype insinuated by the "I make as much-as-possible" in USA ...not in China / Slovenia ...etc .... rather than saving money by outsourcing to 2nd world countries!
SHAME on you!
