Thanks Steve. Hard work, determination and the internet! 😁

Cheers Crezz. Will be good to get some more flights on it and check it’s full flight envelope.

pro tip : you can watch movies at Flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

@Karter Draven definitely, been using Flixzone for years myself :D

Thanks. It was a really great feeling to see it finally flying (even if it was a real handful because of the rates). Definitely worth the effort.👍

Thanks Laiza. 👍

Kent C Straight thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully get a better flying video when the weather gets a bit warmer.

Thanks Patrick. Took a bit but I got there in the end.😁

😆👍

Thanks for watching.🍻

Thanks Dave, was quite a mission, but good fun all the same.

👍😁

😀Ha, thanks. Good luck with watching the earlier build videos. Bit like pulling teeth😂. I realised after a few videos that more editing made for a more watchable experience!! Thanks for the Subscription. Hope you get well soon👍

Thanks well as a fellow KZfaqr we all learn as we go along, my channel started as a video log of my Model Helicopter flying but over the years has evolved and I've now got 680 subscribers and friends all over the world, I've watched up to part 10 ans have enjoyed it so far Lol 👍Thanks for replying to my comment😄

Thanks Dave, hopefully going to enjoy more flights this summer.

Thanks Stephen. Loving your lidl autogyro. I’m a huge Lidl glider fan.

@@corbett109 Thanks for watching, I thought i would try something different this year . My Lidl AutoGyro bounces a bit better than yours LoL.

Thanks

😆thanks

I think you are right but I wanted a scale ish looking blade.👍

🤣 Thanks for the comments. Hope you enjoyed watching👍

Joe Mason Thanks. Just CG 😁

Hi Cameron, thanks for watching and loving the suggestions. I will build a set of blades with the cg more at 25%. My last blades were more around 33%. 👍

@@corbett109 no worries aft balance 33% of you fly too much tail weight they become twitch like balancing a broomstick on the end of your finger. A little forward is more stable too much and they become unresponsive. Im not sure to what extend the blades scale in behaviour but its a pretty big model so you are probably seeing some of the same behaviours. Your wheel balance is really important to. I used to fly a direct drive VW Bensen style gyro. I could get off in half the distsmce of many at my club with lighter more powerful gyros. I used to put it down to superior training and technique but one bloke was having trouble getting airborne in 500m and it was a light gyro. Couldnt work it out check head angles all sorts then i saw his parked next to mine his nose was on the ground. Mine was sitting on the tail until id get in. I lifted his nose and it was damn heavy. It dawned on me his axle was several inches further back than mine. So my blades would lift the nose sooner. This gave an extra 3 or 4 degrees on the disk. You then bring the nose forward but that extra few degrees makes a huge difference in time to wind up. I could get off between 1/2 and 1/3 these guys take off run. Little things make a huge difference. The downthrust is really important too. Easy to adjust id imagine. Again not sure how applicable this all is on a model gyro. Somewhat i imagine but flexability of rotors extra is probably not exactly the same.

😆Hero :) Thanks man. Gunna try and make it look a bit better at some point. 👍 thanks for watching.

Hi Mister how r u? I have some doubts. I kindly request u to plz teach me. How to find cg and how to fix it on gyrocopter? I have built 4 real aircraft and still flying with it..now I m building a gyro.so if u lead me,i l get success.plz give me your hans ....

mash Ebi there are different positions for centre of gravity depending on what type of autogyro you have. My CG is just in front of the thrust line of the rotors and just below the thrust line of the motor. As you can see in the video it took some finding:)

Zero Negativity I agree. My successful launch eventually pretty much took off itself. Thanks for watching.

Hi Emilio, thanks. The box is actually the electronic ignition unit for the engine. I put it there to keep it away from the receiver in case of interference. It doesn’t have a gyro. Thanks for watching👍

It only took about 15 evenings to build but it took several attempts to fly. Each failed attempt costing a couple of evenings of rebuilding. I probably spent the same amount of time on the videos as I did building it.😁👍

Hi Umar, here is the link to the video with the blades being built. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qd-Kfc-i1bWRe30.html the profile itself is just taken off the web. I just traced the profile onto a piece of wood and cut it out. 👍

Hi Rodney, thanks. The blades are fixed at around -1 degree. The head of the autogiro tips left and right for roll and the forwards and backwards for pitch (up and down). There is a rudder for yaw control. You are spot on with the takeoff procedure.👍 The steep angle of attack was induced by the auto gyro incorrect balance point. I was unable to control the autogiro at any point with the failed launches even by putting in full down, that’s my story anyway 😆. Thanks for watching👍

@@corbett109 Youre welcome & thankya very much for your reply back. I hope ya can find the correct balance point issue for a nice, produvtive takeoff, flight, & landing!

Hi John, I’m pretty sure all my crashes were due to Center of gravity. Horizontal not vertical. Good luck with yours👍

😂 Thanks

10 👍
