Outstanding!
Thank you for the report.
Waiting for more to come.

| Post subject: | Titanium Autogyro test results. |
Now many of you know I am part of this group involved with the Titanium Autogyro. However I fly and evaluate many machines of all kinds. This list below gives my findings as a test pilot. Titanium autogyro test data: Model: Titanium Explorer Motor: Rotax 914 Prop: Bolly Rotor: impregnated carbon fiber 9 inch cord x 28 feet Conditions: Temp 88 F Field elevation 800 ft MSL Density altitude 2000 ft Wind 10 KTS Total fuel 10 gal Total pilot & passenger weight 485 Testing Pilot: CFI Desmon Butts Rate of climb 500 ft per min. VX: 55 KTS Best glide : 55KTS Cruise:70 KTS 5000 RPM fully loaded. VNE 100 knots More Data will be shown as testing continues. This gyro is a joy to fly. The carbon blades have a smooth feel and a little more float but still have a sporty attitude. I find the response with two people to be exceptional. Climb out with full load seemed to be almost effortless. Slight pressure to the left was compensated by a yolk trim system that is included. Landing is smooth with a special shock absorbing front geer. The front wheel design has slight semi castering qualities incase of side loading. However it is not prone to wheel shimmy. The rear spar also includes a small nylon tail wheel to prevent nose high flair tail damage. The base empty weight is less then other models of similar make. This gives the Titanium Autogyro a higher useful load. This can be of course used for cargo or make it one of the few machines to carry larger passengers. The extras and attention to detail put it in a class of its own. Several features include: Duel prerotaor systems, adjustable peddles, rear glove box, cargo pods, prop rock guard, and many other finishing touches. All of these including the full gyro cover are standard equipment. |

This is a short video I put together of the testing. https://youtu.be/zIbk8iV3CIs |

In other words, it is Far Superior after all?  I said that at the beginning... if it gets past Neil, it has to be spot on, no less is acceptable.... oh and....  Fick FJ

I spent a wonderful day flying in Newton Kansas. We flew the 914 turbo Titanium Explorer with an elevation of 1500. Density altitude 3400. Temp about 87 f. Full load and had a 13 kt headwind. Rate of climb 450ft per min. Next week at 4500 ft we will use another entry. I want a very clear performance picture of this aircraft in full load configuration. |

It would be useful to know pilot/passenger weights and fuel load when expressing rate of climb numbers. A nice density altitude number would also be helpful. |

Actually Joe I thought I did list density altitude. As for the weight it was the same as the original post at the top. In the morning I will be getting the numbers for the high altitude stuff. I got to Brigham City today. I am trying to key all things the same where possible except of course field location. Any conditions, altitude , wind and density altitude will be noted. |

You likely did list density altitude or the components to make the calculation. I should go back and re-read. My comment was based on a line I read that extolled the two-place performance without passenger specifications. I admit, being large-frame, to being sensitive to climb performance numbers. I have not been 170 pounds since 7th grade and when last I was at 2% body fat, I still weighed 225. |

On my third landing yesterday, I might have heard 'very very good over the intercom !! We had abit of static howsomeever, he might have said 'YOU BIG UGLY FICKIN FARMER, YOU TRY THAT AGAIN, YOU BETTER BE WEARIN A BULLET PROOF HELMET' !!! fj

Did you do the 3 landings whilst trying to land one time Or was it 3 different landings?  |
