Two Brits died in a Benson gyroglider -- about the safest thing
in the air. Well, nobody put in the bolts that hold the rotorhead
bearing together. It had a press fit that held up for a few flights,
then the GD rotor came off. And that is in the simplest rotorcraft
ever built, a machine with exactly two moving parts.


4 moving parts without the bolts.
