| I've had a bit of an interest in gyro's over the years and have built three or four with the intention of leading up to a scale job. First was a twin rotor Boddo followed by a couple of own designs, also twin rotor, and more recently I built an excellent direct control single rotor job called "Simple G" from a plan by Jim Baxter. This has finally pointed the way forward and makes possible any full size subject. Just waiting for a new wave of enthusiasm to take hold and get on with that Avro Rota or Kellet! There's also a nice little conversion of a Comper Swift that Cierva experimented with which really takes my fancy too...
Pix show an O/D twin rotor job which flew very well and my d/c Simple G from the Jim Baxter plan hovering on the breeze. Hope this gives you all a bit of a push into gyro's! |
