LittleJohn, Clear your pm box.:focus:
find an instructor to teach you how to hand spin up your rotors. Dot use a eurotub and pre-rotator to get your training in.
So your saying just forget about airspeed the gyro will never sink and I have no change of believing I'm flying faster airspeed even if I horse her off = just let her fly?
OK here are my last questions. For an new pilot Without airspeed indicator.
!) How do you confirm your human senses are correct? What instrument do I use instead?
2)AT full power takeoffs.. How do I know I am not behind the power curve? What instrument do I use?
Yo Bro... Thank you I made space.LittleJohn, Clear your pm box.:focus:
A couple of thoughts to stir the pot.
1. Vx and Vy are not constants, in fact at a certain point they are the same. When is this?
2. What exactly is "seat of the pants" flying? It is definable. Someone teach me a short ground lesson on how to fly a "seat of the pants" maneuver, such as a takeoff or approach. I think the attempt will be educating on it's own.
3. And one thing I've been thinking about lately: to what degree is a gyro affected by ground effect? Is it possible that what we think it ground effect, is just the result of leveling off to increase airspeed? Most gyros are hardly a lifting body. I can visualize it easily in a FW, or a helicopter, but the geometry and the mechanics of a gyro make me wonder if it really has the effect we think it does.
Thank you Brother!!!John- I am not here much, but still enjoy reading stuff from my past life. Looking forward to you doing solo Vx and Vy take offs!

Good post Bro!I will try Cammie.
However I could justify the time to fly the black box up and mount it on the Preditor and show you how to use it for your next airshow so we could create a google earth view of the your 'E' Ticket ride and then we could fly?
When is you next airshow Bro??????
Oh that's great.The next air show I am planning on flying in is the Cable Air Show in Upland January ninth and tenth John.
More information available here:

Hi John, hopefully TWF will have their airshow again next year. Would be great to do another run up the falls!Hi Cammie
OK you get it I would also like to learn from you and fly with you at ROTR!
And maybe we could arrange a side trip like we did last year flying up the Snake river at twin falls in our flight of 3?
If the Air show at Twin Falls the same dates each year Would like to plan and invite those at ROTR to stay go to the airshow and fly of the Snake river with a gallgle of rotorcraft.
Thank you for posting I've learned from that!
