An introduction to the unique systems and flying ability of the beautiful de Havilland DH.85 Leopard Moth
Weird.. I'm so broke that selling my feet pics to buy lottery tickets is looking attractive and the algorithm keeps bombarding me with dreams of autogyro's and becoming a pilot. Does it know something I don't ?
Death machines
Did they have the same type of lever operated air-brakes on the DH80 Puss Moth?
It's really interesting. I always thought these were just mini helicopters..... I'm not a pilot.
Very nice restoration. Super panel and interior refit.
You have such a boring voice I really did fall asleep..Do this again but please make it more upbeat!!!
Sweet cloud scooter!
it was from that incident at Sandown, India Victor knew it had to take out Jons old aircraft to get his attention.
after all these years of innovation this is still a rich mans machine !
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.
Studies have demonstrated that operators and passengers of autogyro aircraft suffer from numerous vibration related maladies to internal organs as well as hand, wrist and arm injuries.
How could anyone put a glass panel in a beautiful aircraft like that?!
Why there is vibration on the stick?
did you notice the massive rotor.....
I flew a Cavalon two years ago on an introductory flight at Cierva Aero in Petaluma, California. I shot a short video with my phone while their pilot was flying. It was the most fun I've had fling in a long time. ua-cam.com/video/EOwjM-7B2-k/v-deo.html
Qual valor de um girocoptero cavalon aqui no Brasil
You didn't think to add a link to Cavalon's website?
Very much informative, thanks 🙏
Thank you for sharing
Very nice Demo. I wonder how much one of these costs in US.
Very good interview !
perfect videography....exceptional verbal discussion!
A properly inspiring pilot...amazing!
one very, very carefull pilot.
Do not like those machines...vibrations, one bolt get lose..you fall...naa thanks, planes are better and are more efficients.
Fascinating stuff.
Great video, Dan. Very informative, too 🙂
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.
beware density altitude. fly safe! not sure if that's what was going on with the takeoff or not, but in any case, know your performance.
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.
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.
@@milesbartlett Thanks for the reply. That makes sense now. Very cool
Not yours uncles Benson then. Now there's a jump start selling, all Others are has beens!
What's the ride like in those? I can't get on with light aircraft because the constant motion makes me throw up!
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to create it! Liked and subbed!
A lot nicer looking than the Bensen type gyro I had 30 years ago... Then again, it's probably over 20 times the price I paid for my gyro back then, so it *should* be nicer...
It’s certainly an interesting way to die.
Great video interesting aircraft.
the stick is shaking all the time. A fixed wing pilot will think the plane is stalling because of the stick shaker
25 hrs from fixed wing wing to this? I wasn't taking you seriously already, but, now I'm really watching this as a joke.
Great video and many thanks for your time.
Beautiful ship.
600ibs? Heavier than an ultralight but lighter than an airplane. How is pitch and roll controlled? I see the rufdrr but no ailerons.
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
@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...
Great insight 👍🏻
Excellent interview 👍🏻
How to prevent the wheelie during the landing? It seemed a bit out of control...
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
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.
Jolly good fun!
Oh yes!
Great video!
Love these!
They are great fun!
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.
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.
a very comprehensive and clear explanation. Many thanks for doing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
