Madmuz- Hanging from a 2nd point.....if....its a strong point....will give a larger intersecting angle of the two hang lines...and makes it more accurate.

We also balanced it on the mains and that vertical line also intersected the double hang intersection...nicely varifying it.

Technically, the rotor blades should have had their droop held to their cone angle while flying. The dropping blades slightly lower the blades CG that they are actually at during flight. We didn't have any light cord to do this. It would have raised the actual CG of the gyro a few tenths of a inch is all...so it was miniscule.

Some gyros can't be safely hung other than the teeter bolt...so then, yes...balance on mains and shoot a laser beam vertically from the axle centerline through the hang point....and....voila...a dead accurate CG plot!

wow that did look smooth, but then again Greg can make any gyro look smooth.

yeah there is no dought that is a fine machine. and I bet it sells fast. How many hours does it have on it now?

still hard to believe you are selling it. I sure hope your new Design works out as nicely. looking forward to that build thread.

if you get enough Funds, how long do you think it would be before you would have the new gyro Built?

I saw ya got it listed on Barnstormer.com.

I knew that would not take long. is it staying local?

Way to go...!

Yes. Florida

Congrats Gabs Who is the lucky dog? Er, I mean, new owner? A local?

Nice, that means we will still get to see it flying sometime.
you did a hell of a job Building it,and it would be ashame for it to go out of state and not be seen again.
now get to work on that new gyro..
how much work space will the new gyro take up when being built versuse the behemoth? like was the designed rotor mast height? and how wide will it be. I remember you showed me some drawings of it, but I don't think ya told me any size info. can't wait to see the new bird come together.

Not until he picks it up

The cabin will be 60 inches wide.....like my SUV! LOL.
I wanted to do something comfy.
Same garage will house the build.
Mast can be always disconnected

As long as it has cup holders, air conditioning and an ash tray, it will be perfect

Sad to see it go, although knowing what is coming will be so much better is exiting!!!



Glad it will still be relatively close!!

Ok cool, I should have a shop built soon, will be 8'11" looks like we are going to just get to 9' shipping containers, this county is crazy when it comes to getting building permits.

60 inches wide!!!? You could put Muz And Gabor in there!!
Will it have wi-fi? Cup holders sure would be nice in Barry's Cavalon....
When He flew it here he had like a McDonald's bag, dunkin donuts coffee cup, little debbie wrappers in the empty seat just as if it were his car, lol!

Only 60" wide? I suppose I could squeeze all of my rolls of fat over the back somewhere

Wi-Fi.... I never thought of that..... can hover over Maccas and connect to theirs

Gyros don't hover you dummy!

Ok, levitate then

Good going Gabor!

Thoroughly understand what you are doing... and agree!

Now on to the build thread (as time allows).

I truly did not anticipate this quick and this heavy interest!!!
I love it don't get me wrong. I just was a little taken back by it.
Stan told me once that it would sell quickly if I ever decided to do so.
He was right again

I think we all knew that fine machine would sell quickly.
Congratulations Gabi, I'm happy for you.....I guess......some books I don't relish closing ;).
