AutoGyro Rotorblade Installation and Removal
Cierva Aero is always working to make sure our partners have the knowledge and tools they need to keep their aircraft in flying shape. This video explains how we safely install and remove AutoGyro rotor blades for maintenance or transport.

What a price?
Beautiful! What color scheme is this - didn't see it in the AutoGyro brochure before?
I believe that's Mercedes 296 Aragonite Silver. I think there are three default colors (white, yellow, red) the factory offers but you can get pretty custom on colors if you want! If you have a color you're interested in I'd check with a dealer, like us. We really like the silver, I think between our aircraft and customers who also liked it there are four in that color that fly out of Petaluma.
What color option is this for the MTO 2017 , didnt see it in the brochure??
That's a Mercedes Aragonite Silver, paint code 296. The factory offers a lot of customization on paint, if you're interested in a color I'd check with a dealer (if you're close to us in the bay area that dealer could be Cierva Aero!)
Is this iron blades?
These are extruded aluminum!
@@CiervaAero Length of Rotor Blades and Dia meter? Please reply to me
This is an 8.6m rotor system, the blades are a tiny bit under 20cm in diameter.
The Cavalon is simply a dream. Wish it had more storage for cross country. Daniel Deushle's music made the video more enjoyable. Glad I watched.
great music!
Great job by the Cierva Aero A-Team. I look forward to my next flight! (And there are a couple of those maneuvers that I'm going to have to ask Mike to demonstrate!)
Very nice sir
Great video. Do you typically reinstall the rotor without doing a string alignment test? If you do a string alignment would you consider doing a video for that?
We'll do a string alignment test at periodic inspection intervals (or if excess vibration, etc. is detected,) but not every time the blades are assembled. I'll see about getting a video done on that, thanks for the idea!
what is a good angle of inclination of the blade, and is the trailing edge facing down or up? because I'm confused why it can spin
The blades are angled with the leading edge up at about two degrees relative to the plane of rotation. This link isn't connected with us, but has a pretty good explanation of the aerodynamics at work www.pilotfriend.com/training/flight_training/rotary/gyro_aeronaut.htm
Wow. Another stellar video!
You make great videos. This is the kind of stuff AutoGyro should be using in their marketing campaign. Looking forward to more videos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! We've been on a bit of hiatus from video content, but we're hoping to have some more exciting stuff to show off this summer.
Great video!!
What is the cost of replacing those blades ?
It depends on which length of blade and rotorhead setup for the gyroplane, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Muito bom.
🚁👍👍👍🙏
Interesting canopy. Is that a stock calidus canopy with custom cut outs of the plexiglass on the sides?
It came that way from the factory, I believe they call it a "summer canopy." It's great in the heat, but it can get a little chilly during winter.
Nice job.i have a curiosity.what is pitch angle between the two blades?thanks and a hug from Brazil .
Согласен, не смажешь - окислится. Смазка должна быть - полностью синтетической или силикон!
Красивый аппарат!
What is the size of the rotor, how many meters long and how many centimeters wide, please tell me. Width 21 centimeters or 28 centimeters and length how many meters, 7 meters or 8 meters, I want to know.
These rotor blades are 8.6m long and .2m wide!
@@CiervaAero very wide If it does not use other engines that is not a Rotech such as a sedan engine with the weight of the engine 160-180 kg
Our gyroplanes use Rotax 9 series engines, the 914 has a mass of about 64kg and the 915 comes in at around 85kg.
Wwoo so so good love it... Thank you.
Nice use of the folding camping stools. Great hint about the balance of the blades during disassembly.
Glad it was helpful!
❤️
How does make the helicopter blades
These are extruded aluminum blades from the factory in Hildesheim, Germany!
Fantastico esse voo
Très génial bon vent

That's called the Jesus bolt?
That main bolt on which the rotor system hangs and teeters is sometimes called the Jesus bolt, yes!
I love these machines. Here's a link to one that visited us at KOLS in Arizona. ua-cam.com/video/T6oxbzWZkmY/v-deo.html

What permissions did you require from the FAA to make that flight ?
I wasn't on this specific flight, but I don't believe there were any special permissions that needed to be granted for that airspace! Thanks for checking it out.
Awesome ❤️👍

What`s music?

What is the improvement on the Rotorhead?
The new rotorhead has a shorter teeter tower, as I'm sure you've already noticed, a slightly smaller ring gear, and an improved prerotation system. The practical upshot is that it feels considerably smoother on the stick and can prerotate to 300 rotor RPM, compared to the previous version's ~200 rpm.
More videos on assembly and maintenance would be great, thanks for sharing 👍
Absolutely! Any specific maintenance points for which you'd like to see content?
@@CiervaAero i own mto 2015 model, so Anything would be great. I perform my own maintenance, thats why i asked. Cyclic adjustment, blade maintenance. Ectr...
OK! We'll try to get some MTO maintenance videos up.
How doe's a gyro copter do if one gets caught in a thunderstorm?????
The length and width of propeller blades can depend on the model of the aircraft to fly ?
Great video. Your method of balancing the rotor system on camp stools is great. However, I have a problem with some of your advice regarding lubrication and torquing of the retaining bolts. The maintenance manual specifically states that the bolts should have only a very light oil lubrication on the plain segment of the bolt shafts - not on the head, or threads. Further, the manual specifies AG-GRS-01 lubricant which is different to the Lagermeister WHS 2002 grease used for the teeter bolt. My interpretation of this is that the tightening torque specified is for DRY threads and new nyloc nuts. If you lubricate everything the tightening torque should be reduced by approximately 30% to achieve the same compression / clamping forces. Of course the bolts can handle way more but not necessarily the components being assembled. You mention 20 Nm tightening torque, whereas the manual specifies 25 Nm. Having said that, and in view of my comments above I would have thought the torque should be around 17 to 18 Nm if you lubricate everything in sight. Is your 20 Nm figure a 'nod' to the lubrication? ( NB motor vehicle wheel bolts should have similar parameters applied - i.e. specified tightening torques reduced by around 30% to achieve the same clamping forces if you lubricate the threads and seats etc.). Another matter is your use of what appears to be 'any old' lithium grease. Many non-aviation specific lubricants can have a detrimental effect on some alloys. Now, I am not an engineer of any sort - just an AutoGyro Cavalon owner who does a lot of the maintenance in conjunction with advice and assistance from a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. and so I am ready to stand to be corrected on any of the foregoing. Regards David, New Zealand
Thanks for your interest in the video! You're absolutely correct, the threads on the bolts should not be lubricated, only the shaft of the bolt. If lubricant gets on the threads, it's pretty simple to clean them off. The tightening torque that we received from the factory is a fairly wide range (15-25nm.) The maintenance manual indicates 15nm as the low end, we tighten to 20nm. The grease in the maintenance manual is our grease of choice! We've spoken to the factory and they've said that any quality grease (we specifically use white lithium) is fine on the anodized materials. It's good to see members of our community with this commitment to detail, I'm sure your gyro's in great condition. Do you have any pictures?
Excellent job
Thank you! Cheers!
Another great video.
Very nice and enjoyable
Great job guys
Good for you..I am learning
Beautiful San Francisco... Hey what altitude were you at going over city.. Loos awesome
Another fantastic video, keep the videos coming love it..
