| WELCOME ! |
| These are going to be the pages I will using to show you the progress on my 2-place Autogiro project. I have started building the tandem , open cockpit Autogiro because there will be a need in the near future for lessons in learning how to fly such an Aircraft , not to mention the option for an individual to want to carry passengers. The construction is simple and forthright, aluminum angle formers, aluminum tube longerons, riveted together with gussets using structural cherry pop rivets. It will be covered with dacron fabric using the "Stits' process. At this time, the powerplant will be a 1700 66HP VW engine, (bumped up to 75 HP) using a 60 inch prop. AUW should be around 750 pounds. Max speed is calculated to be about 85mph and cruise around 75. The rotor blades will be of the 2-blade teetering system @ approx. 27ft. I am working on a 3 blades hub system that will hopefully utilize the stock Benson/Brock type aluminum blades that will be more accessable and economical to homebuilders. On these pages are a few pictures of the aircraft as it is as of 08-17-03. I hope this Aircraft will generate as much interest as my single place has and the orders come rolling in for Airframe kits because I'm broke and am running out of money for parts and materials ! You can e-mail me for information on the aircraft or if you want to make any donations,( which will be graciously accepted).........LOL..... to: girogeorge@hotmail.com aeromech_99a@yahoo.com aeromech_88@yahoo.com I'll be adding more pics on the construction processes here in the near future. All which is free to you. Maybe we can get a revolution of tractor-gyro interest going thruought the world!! Girogeorge Pate |
