Guys---------right on paage one of this thread. First post there is a short video of my auto gyro sitting in front of a fan with the rotor spinning!! Sparky was kind enough to put it there. Now ya'll go look, hear?

Thankyou Sparky.

Snoopy huh? He's cute in there Ray. And here I thought we were all done with the GYRO!!

Not only does Snoopy match the color scheme he also really helps hi-lite that windscreen. Is the red on the screen nail polish?

You are so right ---no model is ever finished-at some point we just quit working on them.

I thought so. Have you ever used her nail glue?

Read "Autogiro flight report" post in this (1/2 building) area.

Congratulations Frank!!!

How was the line tension compaired to your LA Heat?

Clancy

Clancy,
The line tension was a little lighter on the auto-gyro than on the Heat. hmmmmm.............

Ray--the rotation of the rotor kept tightening up the screw. I really wanted to see that rotor spinning man. I tried 3 flights and each time the rotor would spin for the first half lap then the screw got to tight. This week I'm going to make a new spindle that won't bind.

Rich had a Golden Hawk that was way better finished than my gyro and technically he should have won the craftsman plaque. I flew his Hawk in stunt and came in 3rd. The plane did a wingover, inside loops and lazy eights. If I hadn't run out of sky on the outside loop and had I gotten landing points we would have come in first.

Greg Bossio flew my BlackHawk Models PT-19 to third place in the Racing Event. Greg is holding the PT-19 wearing his stunt hangar t-shirt in the background of the photo and in the foreground is Rich swapping the engine from his Atomic to the Golden Hawk for our fling at stunt.

Thanks Larry, Here is a group picture. Your product line was well represented.
hmmmmm....a Musciano Nationals.

I agree with you Paul. Next year we will have the picture taken at Lunch time.
