Is it too late to cut a hole in the bulkhead, like I did with mine?

The blades have zero pitch or a small amount of negative pitch, this is achieved with the thin shim under the trailing edge

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.

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.

Rich,My test build is underway and making good progress!! Nice easy build, I'm sure its going to be another excellent model

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,

Well Done Richard,

This of course now means Rich is going to have to also work in mirror image and start using Throttle on the left!!!

Hi Matty B and Monz,
Thank you for your interest,
I'll PM you the Membership Secretary's phone number, Godfrey, to discuss with him as I know we are running some promotional rates at the moment which provide membership through to end 2016, so its best he explains how it works,
All the best
Malcolm
PS the phone number is also on the website contact page

and we have open membership places at the moment,
Thanks

The Chiltern model flying Club is pleased to announce its Autogyro open Day will be held on Saturday 16th May 2015, (ie in just a couple of weeks time!), near to Luton.
We have several confirmed gyronuts attending already but welcome other interested pilots and modellers.
Last years event was a great success and we are hoping for another great day. (Have already booked a nice sunny day and slight wind)
Please message me for further details if you interested in attending.
Malcolm and Tim

Tony,
I don't think you can post pdf on here, only photos.
Tom emailed a set last night, so I've put them on my website.
They can be accessed at www.coolwind.co.uk in the "Download" section.
I hope this helps

Tom,
Sounds intriguing, I'll watch with interest

Steve,
Thanks for the thanks!
On my Auto-G there is no side thrust, and about 5 degrees down thrust.
The manual has one diagram on the C of G position and it's not particularly clear but seem to indicate that it should be 220mm back from the spinner tip, which comes out at about the forward edge of the mast base. I don't remember measuring mine, I just put the battery in and flew it,

"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!!
