spin balancing a tail rotor by Stuart & Kathryn Fields
We recently received an article for our magazine where the author performed a balance of his tail rotor on a bench using an electric motor and a dial indicator instead of an electronic balancer. I was impressed with his thinking outside the box. If there is any interest in this out there, I...

Building a Gyrobee by TM
Greetings, all. I am new to this group, but I have been studying Gyros for a few years. I've decided on building a Gyrobee. I'd love to build one from scratch, doing my own cutting and drilling, not for the cost savings but just because I'm an engineer at heart and love to build things. The only...

Quick Response Ambulance by Ralph @ G-Squadron
Anyone think the idea of using an autogyro as a quick-response ambulance service is good? Wouldn't actually transport patients, but would act like the quick response car or bike, delivering emergency help, and looking after patients until land ambulance arrives. I'm going to see how far I can...

Sikorsky S-92 only 3.2 Billion by Shiver Me Timbers
Well folks..... I'm a little surprised. It's not everyday that a country orders 3.2 billion dollars worth of a helicopter that theoretically is still on the drawing boards. I would have thought that one of my fellow Canadians would have thrown the subject out in this newsgroup.... but apparently...

..and another hour... by hellothere.adelphia.net
Kevin, just remember, there are days that at times just putting it down is a challenge. No real reason, it just happens. Just don't think real hard about it as it will cause you to do it more. There are times when my landings are so soft you do not even know you are on the ground, and then the...
