By the way Stan, How does it feel to be 5 days older than me old man.
Yes, Paul the best description to use is " Stable ".
I aso found the difference in stability between the Magni and the RAF 2000 to be like night and day.
If only the Magni had a full enclosure it would be just perfect for flying in cold climates.....
....However, if you build a Ltttle Wing you will have both stability and an enclosed cabin.
Looking foward to seeing your machine ready for sale.

If the Magni had a full enclosure, it wouldnt be stable, thats why they have the bob sled arrangement, its a lot easier that way !!
I don’t understand why, Larry. A stable gyro flies like a draggy fixed wing airplane. There’s no magic or special talent required.
But then I can’t possibly view it from your perspective
Why Brian?
Aussie Paul.
Here you go Thom. Here's a photo of a stable RAF.
Yes; check the NTSB site:Could someone post the "numbers" for accidents by gyro type?
That would be interesting to see.
I'll rephrase that,... are there FAA numbers categorized by gyro type?
Jim.
