Well as some of you know, I have been in close Contact with Anthony of Phoenix Rotorcraft and after many conversations he has agreed to let me design a Gyro that he will produce and sell kits for.
anyway. here is a rough drawing of the new Concept Gyro that will be called the El Diablo 1 and 2.
what will set this machine off is, it will have a EJ-22 with redrive for power and will be offered as a single seat machine that will be fully enclosed with a modified Body of the Falcon style. will have a more rounded windshield mount for one thing. ( remember my falcon thread where the last screw stressed the windshield and cracked it? )
And we will be making an insert to widen the body and a kit to convert it to a 2 seat side by side Gyro. cowled in engine will be standard.
It will be offered with standard flight gauges or optional glass panel.
Also this machine will have aluminum fuel tanks that will mount behind the cab on each side. so no ethanol issues with the fuel tanks.
Anthony has already crunched some numbers and we are looking at a complete kit price of under $23,000.
I am hoping that now that I have the measurements all drawn out Anthony will get the kit ready for me to build for him and with any luck have the Prototype at Bensen days or Mentone.
yeah I know, time is running out for Bensen days,but if he supplys the whole kit for me to build at my own shop, I think I can pull it off.
so there ya have it,what do ya think?
oh the tail is a triple tail with winglets on the top and bottom of the H-stab. stab span is 72" x 24"
the drawing is scale. so that gives ya a pretty good idea.
about 8'4" to top of rotorhead. 12" drop keel. to swing a 72" prop. nose to tail is 15 feet long.
If you like the Design and want one of the first kits you can E-mail me at [email protected] or just call Anthony at Phoenix Rotorcraft at 919-340-0038 and tell him you are calling about the El Diablo.
