    A very logical and sensible upgrade, it might not have felt it at the time but to get the whole stack replaced and the G3x + engine indication system fitted in one hit will have saved you money in the long run. I can remember doing the import on that aircraft back in the mid 1980’s and it remained with the same careful owner since import, it was always a sound aircraft and your refurbishment has made it fit for the modern flying environment .

    Doing the North Atlantic is a blast but very demanding if the weather is not playing the game so the best time for you to do it is when your Instrument skills are very sharp. As for the aircraft the fact you have a turbo will stand you in good sted with the safety altitude you will encounter over Greenland but your avionics fit does not have enough redundancy.

    Failures after maintenance are because with most maintenance items (aircraft and all mechanical maintenance) the probability of failure (PoF) follows a "bathtub curve" where initially the PoF is high, then if it works it will likely keep working for a while until eventually the PoF increases again with prolonged use. Initial high PoF is influenced by factors such as fasteners not torqued, bearings installed incorrectly, faulty parts installed, workmanship issues, etc. Quality control and procedures are very, very important to ensure maintenance is done correctly and completely.

  • @murphyandmurphybrand
    @murphyandmurphybrand 27 днів тому

    Why is the rotor labelled underpowered when it is clearly powered? Genuine question. I understand that the forward momentum causes lift in the rotor essentially turning it into a wing.

    • @milesbartlett
      @milesbartlett 26 днів тому

      The rotor is only powered for pre-rotation , up to 200-+250 rpm, during flight it is not powered. The shaft for pre-rotation and the rest of the rotor assembly is not intended for full power to keep weight down otherwise you might as well get a helicopter. Gyrocopters are small light, fairly simple craft to pilot compared to a helicopter.

    600ibs? Heavier than an ultralight but lighter than an airplane. How is pitch and roll controlled? I see the rufdrr but no ailerons.

    • @pieterpretorius1014
      @pieterpretorius1014 29 днів тому

      the rotor itself tilts forwards, backwards and side to side for pitch and roll. the control stick has what the rc community calls an elevon mix the controls the main rotor tilt. so tilting the rotor to the left rolls the whole aircraft to the left or pulling the stick towards your gut causes the rotor tilt back and causes the aircraft to climb. the controls work pretty much the same as any fixed wing aircraft with an elevon style control system but there is no computer in between the stick and the rotor

    • @Mthammere2010
      @Mthammere2010 29 днів тому

      @pieterpretorius1014 the rotor blades controlling the pitch and roll sounds a lot like a helicopter without being one. That's a very neat tidbit about Gyrocopters: thanks...

    @williamyamm8803 Місяць тому

    Very nice design. Short take off and landing. Take less space than a plane. Can probably land easily in case of an engine failure (autorotation). I wonder why there are not much more autogyros. What are the advantages/desavantages compare to a plane of the same weight ? Greetings from France

    • @milesbartlett
      @milesbartlett 26 днів тому

      Yes , with the autorotation engine failure is not so much of a problem. With a bit of a headwind an experienced pilot can land in less than 10 meters, usually takes about 30 meters to land.

    @chrishamilton4999 Місяць тому

    I first took an interest in gyro's in the late 1980s. they killed a lot of people then (in Australia). Apparently they drop out of the sky if you push the stick forward (an intuitive instinct for fixed wing pilots to maintain airspeed if the engine fails or you lose airspeed). I think the pilot has to pull the stick back in such an emergency, and the machine floats to the ground safely. I dont know if this is true, but I think stick forward unloads the rotor and the airflow over the rotor reverses, and you cannot get it to go back to the right way. I would be grateful if someone could tell me if this is correct, and whether this problem has been overcome. Such a cute machine, though.

    • @milesbartlett
      @milesbartlett 26 днів тому

      You are right , this used to happen a lot and gave them a bad reputation, don't need to move the stick at all, the autorotation will slowly bring you down. I don't fly myself and I don't know what was done to prevent this.

  • @chrishamilton4999
