Have asked Tim if he could make some simply quick videos or vlog but he was saying it takes a long time to edit etc. and he does not have the time. He said he'll try to make some quick ones.
Mr. Gyro: I'm assuming you meant to urge removing the stick from the rear cockpit when using the rear seat to store a BACKPACK. If I'm correct about that, I'd be interested in why you recommend this. What hazard is reduced by removing the stick from the rear cockpit? Thanks in advance. Clueless student pilot here.
@@zlindriver7632 Yes, the back stick should be removed any time there is no qualified pilot in the back seat. During take off, the stick has to go all the way to its furthest back position. It stays there for few seconds, but it has to be able to freely go there. If you have a large bag, or a person with a large belly on the back seat, the stick may be prevented from going all the way to the back, and thus impeed the safe takeoff. Additionally, if the pilot tries to muscle the stick back with a large bag on the back seat, the stick may get lodged in the seat belt supporting the bag, and be prevented to go back to its mnormal position. So, removing the stick on the AR-1 takes two bolts (7/16ths wrench) and about 5 minutes of your time... just remove the back stick...
Yeah sorry. I was not going to walk half a mile in hot summer to the runway and record him taking off. We all know what a gyroplane or airplane taking off looks like. No drama there.
Of all the gyro planes that I’ve seen the AR 1 is my favorite machine.
Hey, Tim. I'm near Sedona (Cottonwood) & would love to see your gyro when you get here. I'll even buy you lunch at the Mesa Grill! :-)
After 3 days of flight during day time Tim reached Sedona, Arizona safe and sound.
Very glad he was successful. Great lookong gyroplane - blue is my favorite color.
Has anyone installed a Viking engine in an AR?
Love the video. Maybe some videos of the take off and trip please 🙂

ALWAYS remove the back stick when starpping back to the back seat...
