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.

Lookin' good Joe, I didn't notice the "mud flaps" before, good idea!
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.

That paint theme fits it very well. Magnificent machine!
