With the gyros the mass of the rotors and the teeter /control system are moved out of the center of rotation shifting the mass spanwise & chordwise with each revolution.

yep you are right, I only have flown gyros and know nearly nothing about helis even if we have a kompress in the hangar it is true that it is not the same but I was amazed to see this shakeless trimed stick

Test flew a CH-7 it was like a mini Jet Ranger - smooth balanced controls - easy to just hop in and fly, then the engine quit The autorotation was a non event to a perfect landing. . . Oil stand pipe sucked air at 1/2 a tank...
Lots of one offs through the years . The CH-7 Marianos MC 1 and Kevens CH-7 copy were #1 - The only gripes was the power plants conking out

yes it seems to be a nice heli from what I can see in the hangar, the only thing is that the fellow who own it enventually prefers flying his M22 gyro, certainly because he learnt to fly helis to late (he is 65) and that he will never become a real heli pilot
he is afraid in fact

A few of the mustering gyro pilots in central australia have converted to ch7 helicopters. Apparently they fair well in the dusty conditions. They'd be putting some hours through them
I wish they made the single seat hungarocopters like in that video. They still make a stealthy looking two seater

If I remeber well one of our email converstation, Wolfy had told me that there has been a change in the kompress ch7 service program and that the cost of maintenance had sky rocketed making some of the CH7 mustering pilot to think to come back to gyroplane
Wolfy was spending long days in flight on a gyro .. the heli cost for the same work would be prohibitive
the ch7 is a really good machine .. reliable and safe compared with other ultralight helis ... we had to lethal crashes in montélimar with those small helis ...

this video amazed me ... this man's heli stick has absolutely no vibrations at all
is it because it is an helicopter rotor or because it is a really well built rotor ?
I did not know this Hungarian heli ... smart people

That's astonishingly well set up smooth as silk. Takes ages to get rotor system on a gyro that good have to be more difficult with a chopper with all the additional moving parts. It would inspire confidence in the design.

Hi Murray, Hilberg has provided the explanation of this in his message (quoted below) I think it explains most of the difference in vibrations btw helis and rotors following the advice of a friend, on my home made rotor head, I have lowed down the teetering axle by 25 mm (compared with my Averso rotor head) modifying the rotor head main body bar and getting rid of the drum brake I don't know if it will have any effect on the vibrations, but it will at least reduce the cantilever force on the controls which is greater on tandems.

In english, 'well hung' means a big dick so we tease Nabs about being a 'well hung' -arian... you have to be silly and have 'school boy humor' like us to understand

idioms are the most difficult thing to learn in a foreign langage .. (((-:
in french we say "bien monté" hahahaha just in case you meet a french girl ... if she says "il est bien monté" speaking about you is that she is happy with your gun
