- Clemens Wolf (now retired. Wish him a good time on his sail boat) was our chief mechanic till Dec 2017 and has been involved in assembling AR-1 gyroplanes from the very start. Clemens gives some pointers to what is involved in assembling the rotorhead assembly for AR-1 gyroplane. Part 2 of 2

You will not hurt yourself listening to an older gentleman he has the wisdom and knowledge, in the good grace to be able to tell the young man how to get it done, I would love to be a student of this man, he is my kind of person.
Thank you Silverlight for allowing this video.
GREAT VIDEO ! YOU'RE THE FIRST EVER TO SHOW THAT INSTRUCTIONAL METHOD TO ASSEMBLE AUTOGYRO ROTORHEAD, THANK YOU
I know it's quite off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Ira Jordy lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
@Alijah Tate Yup, I've been watching on flixzone for since march myself :)
@Alijah Tate thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!!
@Ira Jordy No problem :D
This video really shows what goes in to these flying machines. Very cool.
I spent most of a day, just trying to find an explanation for an autogyro rotorhead. Finally, these videos showed me how all the parts fit together and articulate.
We can get even more geeky on the design and engineering explanations :)

Do you share your assembly manual, or a few select pages as an example? A friend did a builder's assist with you, and it is one neat machine. My job is CAD and documentation, so I'm curious what it's like for someone who does one of your builds on their own.
This is quite informative. 9:05 - what grade bolt is used? 4:23 - are those tapered bearings? Thanks for sharing.
Great video and explanation, thank you !
صديقى العزيز تحياتى كم يبلغ طول المروحه الافوقيه فى الطائره الهليكوبتر لشخص واحد ولك جزيل الشكر
If you make a tray that has cutouts to hold all the parts for your Rotor set in the order of manufacture you will never miss install parts.
We use a solid model exploded view diagram. Usually customers have to assemble these items to meet 51% Amateur Built rule by FAA. We provide help and oversight
Very nice explanation any beginner can understand easy
it is great for me, and i will reqiuested you please do the second part
,thanks alot
We did
Excellent.
Nice video.❤
Oi estou no Brasil vocês tem um projeto completo de autogiro?
OI MARCELO, E SO PRA AJUDAR, VOCE PODE POSTAR NOVAMENTE SUA PERGUNTA PARA ELES, TALVEZ ELES NAO TIVERAM INTERESSE EM TRADUZIR SEU TEXTO, ENTAO ESCREVA ASSIM: HELLO! I LIVE IN BRAZIL, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE A COMPLETE PROJECT OF THE GYROCOPTER? THANK YOU.
@@DINHONIEMAYER2 Yes. silverlightaviation.com/ or Facebook facebook.com/silverlightaviation
VERY interesting video THANK YOU but why is the "roll bolt"/Pivot point offset to the right side so much and not in the centre line of the mast?
Newton's third law of motion. To counter Propeller Torque Effect (PTE)
Sir what the use type of bearing in rotor head.....please tell me
Sorry for the late reply Sanjeet. For the main spindle bearing where the rotor rotates, I designed it to use a double row angular contact bearing made by SKF. However, engineering wise and to some people tapered roller bearing is better in this application because the way axial and radial loading happens here. Although I agree with that principally, tapered bearing block can be misassembled causing rotor to literally fly off. This a angular double row bearing of higher dynamic loading is enough and can not be misassembled and many gyroplanes have used it successfully and it lasts 2000 hours generally before replacement. Hope that helps.
What is the weight of the entire rotor head assembly plus blades?
Rotor system is 85 pounds. Rotor-head weight is not important because we never sell our rotor-head separately. Only on our machines
@@silverlightaviation Wow, I did not know it is that heavy. Is it made of 4150 steel?
@@Aviator168 They are Aluminum alloy. Steel ones would be 150 pounds. These are not your old Bensen style machines. Rotors are 8.6 meter (28.2 feet) span, 8.5 inch wide chord
@@silverlightaviation I am just asking about the rotor head, not the blades.
@@Aviator168 That's funny because that is what you asked in your original comment (plus blades). Anyway, as I said rotorhead weight is of no importance as we do not sell it. It can only come with our aircraft kit. What counts then is just aircraft empty weight
U have all these strong bolts and stainless parts, why not the little aluminum block be made out of stainless or light titanium that would be much stronger than the aluminum block. It seems the aluminum block might be the weakest link and with that hole drilled through pretty near the edges. Just am wondering is all.
And yet not in a single crash the Aluminum block has ever torn off. We are not making tanks. These are aircraft. We do not solve problems that do not exist. The name of the game is liten and simplify through engineering with proper safety margins for the application at hand. Not complicate and tankify.
@@silverlightaviation I totally get it, I am just wondering is all and I know it is not a tank or warbird. I realize the problems more than likely do not exist 100 percent. I am just thinking of safety margins etc and redundancy. There are lots of types of aluminum. If its aerospace stuff I would be ok with it and I am sure it is. U have a nice machine and I like it.
@@user-ev2qo1hj1g In Aerospace the most common Aluminum alloy is 2024 for sheet metal. 6061-T6 for milled parts and also 7075-T6 for higher strength parts like leaf springs. All our milled parts are made from 6061-T6 and safety factory is in excess of 2. Usually certification requires a safety factor of 1.5 from limit load values.
@@silverlightaviation Thanks for the information. I have been watching lots of videos and I would have no problem in your machine now that I understand a few things.
is this rotor head support made of aluminum or stainless steel?
Hi there, can you please let me know, i have a big dream to build a gyrocopter since 30 years ago, until today i do not have money to buy one of this incredible aircraft, so what i need to know, do you can sell the project of the rotor head, for me to build myself, bcos i do not have money to pay, 3.500 dolars for this, the other parts i can build buying material aeronautic and i do mig welding, so that is it, if you sell the project i can create the rest of the project, thank for help. A leal
Sorry we can't sell major structural parts like rotorhead to you unless you own one of our machines and the price is $3500.00 anyway. I hope you find it elsewhere
Can l bay for this
Is that Radial load bearing acting as a thrust bearing in the rotor head ? I will use a taper type bearing in this case
Good job bro
Some older designs did and do use tapered bearings and there have been a couple of deaths and a couple of videos showing rotors flying right off because people assembled those tapered bearings upside down into the towers. These bearings are not your regular ball bearings. These are double row angular contact bearings that can handle loads in both axis. The loads carried in this bearing doublet in the rotor head exceeds 6Gs and you cannot assemble it upside down. It does not matter
Olá sou do nordeste do Brasil e qria negociar um peça dessa aí tem jeito???
Rotor-head assembly is $3500
If you're having to ream laser cut parts to make bolts fit, somebody's not doing their job.
True. They were not doing the laser programming to take out the little notch left when laser starts. They had to change the code to do that
👏👏👍
Bearing size?
why? Would you like me to calculate the loads for your airframe also?
