Why do gyros use tilt head rather than swashplate by
Phillip
Would a gyro with a swashplate ( just for pitch control) fly any different
(better,worse) than using a tilt type rotor head? Just more complex?
Also, I've seen some photos of early kit helicopters that appear to have
just a tilting head (no way to auto-rotate ?). Isn't this a bit of a death
wish?...

Why did this helicopter crash ? by
Iwan Bogels
Hi everybody,
This week I have uploaded a video of a helicopter crash on my website
(www.dappa.nl/crash.htm). Does anyone have a clue about the failure that
caused this crash? It is definately not an engine failure or a tail rotor

Why are so few gyrocopters developed? by
Joachim Colling
To me the gyrocopter principle seems to be much cheaper (and safer?)
than the heliocopter. Why has development of medium and larger size
gyrocopters stopped? And smaller are also very few?

Which GPS? by
steve
Am looking to purchase a GPS. As this is the ROTORCRAFT forum I don't
need to say (but I will) that the gps must be easy to see, easy to
operate (1 handed?) and light weight (in case strapped to kneeboard).
I have been looking at the Garmin GPSmap 196. It has a black and white
screen not the color....

where can you fly? by
Armitage Shanks
Hi,
Once you're a qualified private pilot, where can you/can't you fly?
For instance, say I spot an interesting cloud formation. Can I just
take off, fly up to it, ascend the vertical walls of the cloud and fly
through its troughs and valleys in exploration of a formation that
will only ever occur...
