To Chuck, Jean Cluade etc,
I am just starting to get back into gyro's and was hesitant because of having to deal with the very annoying 2 per rev shake.
So I am wanting to try my version of the Swedish yoke. I can't find any pictures of Joe Pires version (can anyone point me to them) but have seen Mad Man Mike's version.
My thought's are to just make doublers on top of the blade retention straps, but the doubler would be as wide as possible (span wise) out near the end of the blade strap.
So I would have the drag struts out near the last bolt hole in the straps and in front of the leading edge and behind the trailing edge.
The drag strut would be from the leading edge of one blade to the trailing edge of the opposite blade.
My concerns are that I may introduce a local hard point at the ends of the blade corresponding with the drag strut, forcing the blades to flex (lead and lag) instead of the hub bar flexing as they do now. Is that something that I need to worry about?
Any thought's ?
