@brem222 The rotor isn't powered, so it isn't creating torque aside from the friction on the bearings. Right now we have a rudder and stabilizer assembly that overcomes the torque of the engine and rotor friction. It can be seen in 3D on our website. Thank you for the excellent question.
This is coming from someone you has been pulled into the air by a compact car with a winch in the trunk, pulling me and my hang glider...no way in hell I'd try this thing! If the s**t hits the fan there's no way you're going to deploy a chute with this that blender spinning above you. Everything either works perfectly, or you are in serious trouble.
so wait. Does it actually fly? and if so then how do you control it? Whats the fuel consumption? How much does it cost? where can i buy one? and do i need a moving truck with a platform to use it?
Where is the fun ? Where is the utility ? If you're obliged to be removed by a vehicule ( for example) each morning for going to your workplace or anywhere... it's not realy convincible !

@testermanish This was one of our many tests, the craft was drastically modified so our test pilot could by hand pre-rotate the rotor. The model that is for sale its a lot harder to grab the rotor and its no different than sticking your arm out the window in your car with on coming traffic. The use of the this gyro copter would be for aerial photography, but mainly personal recreation or travel. Thank you for your concern we appreciate it and I`m sure that others have thought the same.
Hi,very impressive keep working on her!I was a little worried about the power lines near the test its easy to be toasted crackling very quickly!good luck tho.
@bomberguy06 Nope, not at all actually even with the engine, stabilizers and fuel its not bad at all. Our prototype is heavier than the actually model we are selling. This is due to over engineering. Our current load rating is over 9+ g's that's when the test was stopped. The standard model is 5.1+
@bionictrucker1 The rotor blades could take a lot more than that too, we have already destroyed our first set. On purpose of course. We have done take off RPM blade strikes on the ground multiple times, and a lot of 7" dia. steel poles. Our blades only weigh 3.2 lbs without tip weights, very light and durable.
@BradleyAircraft ARE YER BLADES BALANCED PERTY DARN GOOD WITHOUT THE TIP WEIGHTS? HOW MUCH WEIGHT IS ADDED WITH THEM ON? DO YA HAVE A TACH FER COUNTING THE ROTOR'S RMP'S? IS THERE ANY TYPE OF STRESS THAT'S PUT ONTHE PILOT'S ARM AS HE'S TRYIN TO CONTROL THE AIRCRAFT? WHERE'S THE VIDEO MADE? TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE UTAH. I LOVE THIS IDEA THAT'CHYA HAVE. BEST OF LUCK WITH IT. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED ON YERS OUTCOMINGS OF YERS PROJECT. THAT'S FREAKIN AWESOME!
@bionictrucker1 The blades right out of the molds balanced perfectly. We currently have 2 lbs per blade. No tach but one is on order. Our pilot noted that "There was no stress or pain on the arms during flight testing and the control stick moved with ease." It is in Utah county, great scenery flying area. We all really enjoy the aircraft, just making it affordable though is our next step. We cant wait to see a swarm of them at Oshkosh.
@BradleyAircraft COOL! WHAT PART OF UTAH YA IN? I DRIVE TRUCK THRU THERE ALL THE TIME. SO IF THE PILOT IS AT A VERTICAL-STANDIN POSITION DURIN FLITE, HOW DOES HE CONTROL THE YAW/RUDDER FLITE CONTROL? WHAT'S YER FLITE DURATION? HIGH/CRUISE/LOW SPEED FORE STALLIN COMES BOUT? WHAT'S YER CEILING ALTITUDE? CAN YA AUTO-ROTATE WITH IT? WHAT'S THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE AIRCRAFT? WHAT'S YER MAIN ROTOR DIAMETER? WHAT'S THE FAA SAY BOUT THE LIL CRITTER? DO YA HAVE TO GO THRU THEM & ALL THEIR RED TAPE CRAP?
@bionictrucker1 A lot of this information is on our website too. :D We just moved to St George, so were half here and half in Spanish Fork. Rudder control is on the control grip via twisting. cruise 52 knt, it flies in constant auto rotation. Ceiling:11,000ft. Rotor span:14' Weight: 65lbs with 3 gallons fuel. No FAA red tape, no inspection, FAA says nothing about it, this is an ultralight see FAR 103 for more details or google it. You do have to fly under their rules as an ultralight. That's it.
@dennisdeslager0 The next video doesn't have a release date at the moment. Yes, it does fly and handles really well. The current prototype has been dismantled for inspection and for updates. Thanks for commenting, feel free to ask more questions.
You are one hard-core dude !!! God's speed in your developement !! I will be watching closely and wish you the greatest success. Where did you get the blades? I might be able to use them on my project! ........... Very cool video.
@MikeUSA777 Thank you for subscribing, and the kind words of encouragement. We all agree our test pilot is definitely one hard core dude! We custom made our own rotor blades, they are carbon fiber. The rotor blades are currently for sale pending on your size, send us a personal message or email to inquire a quote.
cool idea, but what stoppes you from spinnin around

What's the point? You have a spinning blade on your back. Stick your arm up once and see what happens.
