Revolver Pusher type Autogyro trainer
Malcolm - coolwind.co.uk replied to Richard Harris's topic in Autogyros
Posted by Jussi on 07/01/2021 21:19:03: "There used to be (20 years ago) autogyro.com page for rc autogyros. It had also a technical page for basic setup, hang angles, balance, basic control movements, rotor loadings and so on. Maybe it was old information, but information gathered nicely in one place. I wonder if there is similar page nowadays?" Jussi, There is still access to autogyro.com through the "backup" of the internet via the wayback machine at: autogyro.com The interface is a little clunky and not every link or picture is guaranteed to work but 90% of the info is still there!!

The blades have zero pitch or a small amount of negative pitch, this is achieved with the thin shim under the trailing edge malcolm -
Finally got my Whippiteer maiden'ed by AG expert pilot Rich Elliot with Rich Harris in attendance. Rich H flies the wrong mode to maiden it for me, or... maybe its me that flies the wrong mode? Quite uneventfull but great to see it go without any tweaks or mods. Malcolm

Posted by Richard Harris on 16/03/2020 16:27:29: Looking good Malcolm Are you going to go with a cowl like Chris's? The plan is to do a cowl, I've modelled one in CAD, just need to kick the 3D printer back in to action, and then decide if that's good enough to use or make a plug from it and Vac form from the print.

The colour change line although inspired by the plan, found its shape in the kitchen cupboard

The wheel pants are made from Craft foam (EVA), nice and flexible. Temporarily fixed with double sided tape, but when I'm happy with the shape then I'll get out the UHU.

A little bit more progress on my test build. Aiming for a maiden next weekend when a little bit of nice weather has been booked.

Posted by Cuban8 on 14/06/2019 21:02:21: Edit....just had a thought .....incidence packing? Edited By Cuban8 on 14/06/2019 21:05:04 Yes, incidence packing on the blade underside to give a little bit of -negative incidence (if required) -

God Bless you Tom, you have been and still are an inspiration. A true Gent who rekindled my interest in Autogyros and was never too busy to give help and advice. My thoughts are with you and your family, Malcolm
