AutoGyro MTO Stick shake dampener system

I came up with this simple stick shake design and tested this today Jan3 2012. I used an old Cessna front wheel dampener shock. After doing several things to get better balance on the rotor, I decided to try this. It removed about 70% of the remaining stick shake. Other designs like push rod springs put delay and slop into the cyclic or stick. This has no effect on the control performance just reduces vibration and shake.The side mount bracket will be replaced by a 90 degree angle steel bracket. This one was setup for the test flight only.

This is not a replacement for dynamic balancing.
