Ultralight Gyroplane Solo
After 3 years of building and training I finally took my first flight in my Ultralight Gyroplane.

Trailer mover
มุมมอง 21K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Built this trailer mover from plans I bought on ebay from Clark Miller. The plans were $19.95. The plans were excellent, but it was a bigger job than I thought. I was looking for a project, so I didn't get too frustrated when it took a long time to complete. I took a couple of parts to a machinist to have drilled because of the size and gave him $15 to do it. I think I'm about $800 into this fo...

Electric Pre Rotator Butterfly Ultra Light

Initial test of my electric pre rotator with the blades on. Did some practice ground maneuvering while I was out. Should be in the air soon.
Butterfly Ultralight Gyroplane First Engine Run

Installed the exhaust manifold which was my last part to complete my kit. Ran the engine and everything worked. I had to adjust the tachometer, and idle, but that was it.

Did anyone see that Butterfly actually flying?
это был незабываемый полет.не отрываясь от земли)))5 минут впустую
What does Ultralight mean, in this case? May I have the weight, please ??? Thanks a lot. Is it the ultralight engine or the ultralight frame that makes it ultralight ?
Use full topic
its very skinny on the undercarriage ,,, where did those six years go ,,, lol
Hi Kevin, Any plans to custom build or go into production?
Very nice
Very nice
Ooooo boy 5.34 minutes of watching some guy tool around, it's like watching kids riding go karts
Can you make the propeller also be powered by an electric motor?
Hello and thank you for sharing. I about ready to start my hornet build but I'm struggling with finding a rotorhead. I tried thebutterflyllc but it looks like they are out of business now. Could you possibly share some information on yours.
I think he made this walker for their childrens 😂😂😂
completement con........
For those who understand gyrocopters, this is great. Mechanical system works, but is just that...Mechanical.
Hi please help me idea IMO work helicopter
if I wanted to see gocarts I would have looked that up . impress us man and make that bird fly . hell I could just take off and run bare foot across the sand a piece and back and make it more exciting than that.. shit dawg I want my money back
This thing went back in time causing him to finish the flight before he started so he just taxied back to the hangar.
I hate it when someone posts a video about a particular mechanical object and then NEVER SHOWS THE DAMN THING ON THE VIDEO! WTF? All we see is the GYRO, what about the ELECTRIC PREROTATOR??? OMG. Morons.
Taek
great video...thanks for sharing
I did not expect it to sound like that.
What type of gyro is it and what engine does it have fitted
Wht the fkkk he dont lift
I have been thinking about getting a Gyro for years, I have flown ultralights and GA aircraft, I have a PPL. But so many of the ones I see and like on TH-cam are no longer in business. I'm sure I could probably find an old Bensen or Brock for sell but are they out dated and no longer viable ? One other thing, the pilot is wearing a long sleeve hoodie but has on shorts, I don't get it !
To see this pilot and aircraft flying, go here:- th-cam.com/video/_TnsZHA-0Dc/w-d-xo.html
You could fatige the teetering point using this method
Stealthy1, not sure what happened but a friend that was present said it made a loud pop sound before it fell to the ground. Kevin was such a neat guy, a wonderful person. He will be missed very much. www.stgeorgeutah.com/news/archive/2016/05/13/kss-st-george-man-killed-in-aircraft-crash/ kutv.com/news/local/family-and-friends-remember-st-george-pilot-killed-in-gyrocopter-accident
do you have plans so i could duplicate that electric prerotator ???
WHY DID I NEED TO SEE THIS?
But does it fly ??
Is it a goofy go cart or does it actually fly ? Numb nuts !
i am wondering why cant they use a cars starter motor it has a gear and is specially made Bendix to release the motor from the gear when not in use and would be so easy to install the starter motor delivers 10 horse power which is enough to drive the rotor it would work well as a prerotator
Car starter motors are really heavy and draw alot of power so you also need a heavy battery.
Don't fly higher than your willing to fall?
Point well taken, cause obviously he doesn't (fly higher, well you know). Would have been more informative with a brief description of what was being performed with the per-rotator and the taxi test to verify the handling qualities in maybe a minute tops.
This is the safest none flight I've ever seen. Boooring.
Marvin Blankinchip is
I cant handle all the excitement. A true daredevil. Uh i think the rotor needs to be spinning for it to actually fly.
Can someone tell me why some designs sit so high?
The gyrocopter as originally presented could pitch nose over, go inverted and ultimately lead to a fatal crash. This phenomenon is referred to as porposing or PIO - Pilot Induced Oscillations, which I as a pilot, sailplane, powered, and gyrocopter, resent and when discussing this will tend to refer to it as Pitch Induced Oscillations, because there are a few other factors that can lead to a sudden rise or drop of your aircraft's nose which will lead to over correcting for the problem and then starting a series of other (over) corrections due to 'panic' which usually leads to the eventual pitch over and crash. There is a basic remedy to prevent this from happening by lowering the Center of Thrust , but due to the amount of time it takes to properly explain this, the best thing for you to do is to go onto the PRA site and refer to their explanation.
original designs had the keel pretty much inline - front to rear. this forced the engine to be placed higher in the frame, so the prop would have enough frame clearance. The thrust line was higher than the center of gravity- Certain conditions could 'push over' this design then it's tumbling out of the sky. This is a non recoverable situation. So, stagger the keel line, puts the pilot higher... lower the engine a little, and the thrust line is now at, or slightly below the center of gravity.
may I nominate this for "The Most boring, time-wasting Video" award
What was the location out of curiosity?
so where is the clutch to separate the motor from the rotor head after proper rotor head rpm's have been reached
Awesome!
Hi Kevin. Loved your flying machine. I am very keen of flying machines. I like to build one of these from kit. Would you please suggest me which kit should I go with? Thanks in advance.
Well, you almost impressed me. Just make a PTO from your main power plant to do this spin-up thing considering the weight penalty. You could add 'electric start'... and now that you have a battery and a starter, make the starter a starter/generator to power the electric spin-up motor. All of this justifies the rest. How about this?: Come off of the main power plant with a differential. One output goes to the prop and one goes to the 'spin-up' stuff. 'Lock' the prop for spin-up, and once 'spun-up', lock the spin-up so the prop is direct. Use an overrun clutch somewhere in there. Oh-my god ... you almost have a 'real' helicopter with that. I know the swash plate stuff adds way-more complexity/cost, etc. That nonsense being said ... Kudos for the effort, and thanks for the post!
Too heavy and complex IMO. Better to use a hydraulic system or an electric one than a transmission.

How I get frame from you I just need prays welded parts all ready cut out I have all the others parts

Что то он очень низко летает )))))
Hey Mate, can you provide a link to the LIPO you're using? Thanx Gb bg
sounds like a sci fi movie sound effect ,,, epic
No take off after all that?
I know, you're right. Don't worry I finally got there. It's on another video.
Right? Another 20 rpm or so an it would have at least got off the wheels.
Why put the exhaust up behind you head? Those little motors are loud enough without putting the muffler behind your head. turn it over and hang it below
Definitely a poor location to mount the exhaust system on the mast as it will produced an unnecessary amount of vibration which sooner or later will lead to fracturing and fatigue of the mast, especially if based on the old standard of a single piece 2" square aluminum mast as first presented on the Bensen B8M gyros; this is why Ken Brock developed the redundant two piece, which consisted of two 1" X 2" side by side rectangular aluminum tubes which resulted in a much superior mast system due to fractures that had occurred in the single piece 2" Mast. Also, this is why you Do Not paint your mast, a clear coat is fine to protect the aluminum from oxidizing but paint will hide any fractures that are developing. Respectfully, Larry Whalen'
What do ya do to charge the battery....fly it?...lol
