That's an impressive machine.
Glad you had worked out the gearbox issues!!!!
Wish you a lot of happy trouble free flights.

Not a flying pic, but a pinup. I finally have what I consider my complete gyro. Since the last pic, I have added a 2.49 header tank, to give me my solid two hours with a 3.5 gallon reserve. I also had the tail repaired, it had a little nick, so we painted the tips black instead of having to paint the whole tail. Lastly I had the artwork put on. The same guy who did Peg, helped me adapt a stripe I had found to fit the body.

An Aeropract came into my strip and he had those flaps on. Ed modified them to fit my wheel. Wheel pants are pretty, but I like the access and they are much easier to keep clean on a grass strip.

Biggest thing is they will keep debris out of the prop!

Starting at 1:10 in this video you can see the dew on the grass being thrown up by the tires right into the prop.

Yes, that shows it well. I had a few chips from rocks too. We also put a rock guard right under the prop similar to the one on the Titanium Explorer. Between the two I have not had a chip since.

Nope, you blew it with the flames.
Looked WAY better solid red.
Nice bird for sure.
Wish I had two hours of fuel on mine.
