Just do the math.

R squared x Pi = Square feet of disk.
Divide total weight by square feet of disk.
1.3 to 1.8 lbs per sq ft. safe range.
I like 1.5 for all gyroplane blades.

The only quick reference I could find was this.

Wow!! What a fuckin weenie.
So, this dude see's your Incorrect chart of blade loading and takes it as reality and shares like he knows what's going on.
If ya don't know STFU, peoples lives are at stake.
This chart shows blade loading at 1.2 lbs per squ foot which can fold a blade up in hard maneuvers.
Scott I understand you were looking for loading limits so I gave you the math to compare with your chart.
Mr. Weenie, Shares your chart as if it was fact.
I gettin tired of dumb ass wannabees.

Well first off I'm not a weenie as you describe. I shared info shared here with full links to the source.
You say you corrected Scott with the math and that is also the reason I shared the link
pointing to info you and Scott presented here. The info was sourced only from the Rotarywing forum
pages at first and then subsequently I added an edit to share the link from this forum. To correct the record.

Being derogatory helps nothing since you seem to believe I am trying to harm others while sharing info I found
there being presented by others there and then I'm derided for sharing your info which is also clear for anyone to read authored by you
as you claim boisterously here! I was NOT claiming any expertise other then info gleaned from the forums on gyro related subject matter.
To insinuate otherwise is disingenuous and from what I can tell is an attempt to insult me for the exhaust posts @ rotarywing forum.
Your approach then was very disrespectful too.

So I would say credit due were credit deserved.....the sources...not the messenger!


And one last thing....What I said about you before at the Rotarywing forum still stands!
People should go read the exchanges for themselves and decide.


Yeah, Ok, Mr. Weenie,
you can blow smoke up everyone else's ass, but I know better.
The exhaust --- well you showed people where they can source for cheaper but failed to realize there where other parts and labor added to the price; you screwed up my deal.
Your ignorance and disingenuous approach is what pisses me off.
Seen this type over and over.
To you, me being Boisterous is because you're a pussy, Buck up weenie.
Let me tell ya like it is.
I once looked at a picture of a gyroplane, so now I know everything about gyros !!!
Could care less about your emotional state of mind or what you say or think of me, I am content with my abilities.
By the way, do you actually believe your the first person on The Rotary Forum to think I'm an Ass Hole?
Hahahahahaha, you make me laugh. I am the KING of ass holes !!!!!
I'm more concerned about safety, facts, building things with diligence and top notch craftsmanship; what do you have to offer; other than some copy/ paste and google search image?
Oh yeah, you do a lot of editing and deleting, that I know your good at :)
By the way, take a good look at my Avatar

Normally responding to the kind of self aggrandizing and the ego trip your on to justify your actions ,state of YOUR mind and holier than thou attitude only proves your a derelict with skills.
You call me a pussy etc. so I am willing to take you up on that if that's your choice. Fuck your deal! And after that diatribe, I'm now glad i fucked it up for you (unknowingly, but that bridge is burnt) and regardless there was no intention to slight you or your deal and the other aspects of that outcome to provide other labor to do the deal.... that just proves your not a good salesman.

You can present the story from your sideways view all you want and call me names all you want. Your still a lunatic as I see it and you know shit about me or my skills other then the ones you image.

Enough words...... What a waste!!! Now to figure out how to delete you. PUNK!



To Scott Essex. I apologize for using that chart and bringing you into this psychotic episode of ASSHOLES R US comedy hour!


Yeah, I'm a punk, but hey Thank you for your service.
I got 18 years in the Navy.
Everything I say is true and you will never be able to delete me.
So either let your chicken shit feelings get hurt or learn about facts and the effect of speculative information.
Fuck my Deal, really !!
Shows you have no respect for nothing but your little bubble, Fuck You, you Little Fuckin Homosexual Punk.
Now that that's said, I think we should have a beer, sit back relax and enjoy life or we could keep acting like Ren and Stimpy for the duration.
Your choice. Take it or leave it.
At least you have back bone, good for you.

Oh and by the way Jason, about deleting me, Hahahaa
I could actually delete your account anytime I want.
But I support your right to expression and speech, even if I don't agree with you.
So I would never delete you because you hurt my chicken shit feelings.
You could bash me all you want, but my work is what counts and ya can't take that from me.
Your threats mean nothing to me.
Shows your hatred and lack of patriotism to not support the constitutional right of and AMERICAN.
