It's a good thing I am not involved in the design so it probably is very well thought out I am way too dumb for these things, however I am smart enough to know that people with 5 diplomas in aero engineering probably know their shit. I also know quality when I see it. This baby screams high quality and great craftsmanship. If I can have a hand in helping this machine come to the U.S. I sure will do all I can. _________________ A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension.

I am not sure how fast they can produce two gyros while filling in the Chinese order too. They will be shipping in a 30 footer container so they want to put 2 in it. Probably by June. Testing and final tuning. The head position will be customized for my weight. Not that it is that big of a deal but these guys are anal about the slightest details..... _________________ A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension.

loftus	Re: It's almost done :) Looks like those guys drink a lot of beer during build breaks; and/or eat a lot of Hung-Aryan baked goods. So what type of Torque Roll prevention do they have.

But eating is what we do and wash it down with the finest wine in the world. Torque roll compensation is built in the tail. It also doesn't need tabs for it. _________________ A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension. The fact that I am dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant!

But it's not a cruciform tail, therefore can never work. f Seriously though, what is special about the tail. Looks pretty similar to other Eurotubs, except for being a little more Transylvanian

These boys have spent waaay too much time and money to figure it out. Maybe in person I will. Cruciform tails? What are we talking about?

Lofty, A tail further back from the prop blast and the HS riding in cleaner air will assist to resist some torque roll... but I am not totally convinced that a tall tail with the HS at center of the prop nor the Avo tail with the angled HS have much affect on torque roll anyway.... every action has an equal and opposite reaction..... To me, the best way of reducing torque roll is to use a gearbox rather than a belt.... so the torque from the engine and the prop going the other direction cancel each other out a bit, whereas, if you have the engine and prop going the same direction, the torque reaction from both add together..... It would be even better if the downgoing blade of the prop is going down on the side the rotor is retreating too I reckon.... Why are you so worried about torque roll suddenly Lofty? Are you having trouble with annoying orange? Or is it just because of the Dubai accident? If so, I don't think that had anything whatsoever to do with torque roll.... so just shut up and fly _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned!
