BENSEN DAYS Gyroplane Movie

[@servicarrider]

I'm impressed, entertained, schooled, and sold.

[@DustyCowdog]

I don't understand something -- I always heard that the death-control-input was pushing the cyclic forward and unloading the rotor.... how the heck are all these cats pushing the stick forward and it's no problem? I must be missing something.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Great video, Gerald...👍

[@crawford323]

Mr. Davis gliding backwards reminds me of “Walking the tail” down during a hammerhead fixed wing aerobatic maneuver. Wag you tail and keep it straight. Very nice.

[@rhb8663]

That's a wicked stick shake at 19:19. You wouldn't put up with a shake like that if it was your car steering wheel so why put up with it in a gyro?

[@Retro-Future-Land]

That guy at the ten minutes mark really knows his stuff. Almost like seeing the gyrocopter being showcased into what it can do at one end of the flying spectrum to the other!

[@50AHenry]

Just looking at "The Renegade" 25:03 - Is that tail assembly strong enough ??? It seems OK in the video, but could it fatigue with only being mounted at the bottom ??? (Haven't watched all through yet, but love what I've seen so far). Thanks !!!

[@sathishashokkumar6849]

What is length of these two blades

[@asjsm1202]

It's a Beautiful Day! Good job!

[@automan1223]

Hey G, look at 16:30 to 19:30 some great point of view you are there flying, great times..... we gotta do that again !! I remember how windy it was there...

[@crawford323]

It was interesting to watch the smoke when Mr Davis was in a vertical descent. The smoke was not pulled through the rotors in a manner which I had expected.

[@DustyCowdog]

And what is with that stick shake? That looks crazy ...aren't the blades balanced? Or is it just more of me not knowing squat? LOL.....

[@GreyGhost-r4z]

Loved the slow motion

[@highfive3057]

very nice ... i thought RFD was closed up who has it now ???

[@terrybaldwin8058]

Awesome footage! Glad you put it all on here. Would love to make it to Bensendays some time - but until then I'll watch your vids of it. Thanks -Terry

[@budipirang2694]

Very nice

[@SkunkapeProductions]

I thought Juan de la cierva who invented the gyro copter

[@MattMcIrvin]

Bensen is sometimes credited as the inventor of the *modern* gyrocopter--he came up with the basic design that most modern ones follow; de la Cierva's was rather different, shaped more like an airplane with a propeller in front and stubby wings.

[@ohwell2790]

What is the rotor rpm? Would that be about 300 to 350 depending on rotor diameter and pitch?

[@rotorfly07]

26.52 - Scott Essex gyro: really 27" rotor?? Are you sure?

[@0908-w5i]

🚁⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

[@cameronlapworth2284]

Are those ballistic chutes under the frame or extended fuel tanks?

[@GyroGerald]

Cameron Lapworth no ballistic chutes under gyros because they would probably get caught up in the rotors

[@cameronlapworth2284]

@@GyroGerald it's been tried in the past. That was my instinct too. A few people fitted them pointing down to fire under the airframe. The idea being that if they unloaded the rotor (negative g). It would allow them a shot and they argued that in a negative g incident the rotor the quickly stops. Just wondering if it had become a trend or if it died out as an idea.

[@Hmody]

My dream is flying like this 😢

[@GreyGhost-r4z]

Why are there no Gyro's with 3 Blade Rotors or 4.... other than parking them being a consideration ? Weight, strength ?

[@GyroGerald]

Don’t know but it might just be redundant to have another blade. Plus like you said more weight would be involved

[@EIGYRO]

@@GyroGerald No need for more than 2. Occam's razor.

[@stevenlarose7325]

Ok thats it I am building one

[@GyroGerald]

Go for it build a gyro and start training

[@crawford323]

Well I guess when we are paying 60k for a damn pick up truck..........bending over for the price of a Rotax...... naw hell its still a rape.

[@timothyrobinson6628]

I’m hooked, got one on order.

[@gustavocastillo9014]

I like very much, dont have money......maybe in next life 😒

[@gateway8833]

🤯

[@williamassolari8222]

muito bom alguém tem um manual de como constrói um desse e poderia me mandar aqui no Brasil e difícil acha [e-mail]

[@adebraildo]

Olá tente no google: Girocopteros Hummingbird. Se ue não me engano a sede fica em Joinville - SC. Boa sorte!

[@williamassolari8222]

+Alex Oliveira tenho o face do Eduardo mas eles são fábrica eles vendem o h1 é rotor mas eu quero contruir o meu próprio e compra o rotor deles já comprei um projeto no mercado livre mas é em inglês e não gostei muito do projeto ti aí na busca
