Safest side by side Gyro in the world? M24 vs Cavalon Elevating the cabin relative to the engine, as some gyro manufacturers have done to achieve a centerline thrust, is a half-measure that creates a tall, clumsy shape A better solution is to add a much larger horizontal ballast to solve the power pushout problem

Sport Copter Vortex M912 a good gyro for CC trips? A sedan is a very comfortable and efficient auto for long trips But a sports car is a helluva lot more fun to drive I wish I could afford to keep both in my hangar I am hoping the M912 will be the ultimate fun flyer, while still allowing me to make the occasional short CC trip It’s all about the kind of gyro flying you most enjoy
Gyro tie-down? - Rotary Wing Forum Due to unavailability of hangar space in NW Virginia or surrounding areas in MD and WV, is it practical to secure a gyroplane via tie-down? Absent hangar space or a trailer, tie-down is the only remaining option, but I'm not sure if it is a viable option No, I don't have a gyro (yet)
GyroTech Rotor Head and Blades on RAF2000 | Rotary Wing Forum We have two machines flying Gyro tech towers and blades here in Texas Also have two flying sport copter and one flying extruded aluminum blades, but not sure of the brand I can honestly say the Gyro tech blades fly the best, they have better response to stick input and not as heavy on the stick as sport copter

How many miles per gallon do you get out of your gyro? The past couple of days I investigated the optimal power settings for various cruise conditions on my ArrowCopter It is powered by a Rotax 914 which drives a constant speed prop So I have two degrees of freedom: throttle (controlling manifold pressure) and prop pitch (controlling prop rpm)

Behind the power curve - Rotary Wing Forum To fly a gyro below the power curve (or behind it) should be avoided in case of a power failure, regardless of enhancements A gyro with a rotor disk loading of ~1 3 lb ft² (perhaps part of what David is thinking with no HV zones) along with a good landing gear system will help the survival of its airframe, as would a collective control system
