building a new gyro

Hi guy's
I have a dilemma that I need some help with ! I have acquired a kit which roscoe has cut and supplied a few years ago to another person and I have a heap of parts and a few drawings to go by to assemble a gyro from, the drawings in my own inexperienced view would indicate the gyro is likely to be htl if built to them.

So any plans or ideas or any help would be appreciated




I

Re: building a new gyro

Mark,
Congratulations! Happy building.
I had some axles that I had made up for my Rosco frame that widens the track a little & makes the wheels stand up a little straighter , I didnt use them , so if you like you can have them. I'll attach a pic which might make it clearer.( this is a 'before' shot )

Re: building a new gyro

You'll see in the pic how the wheels are leaning over & running on the outside of the tyre ( it is not quite as bad when the motor is installed & pilot on board ) but the axles I made changes that.
Heres a pic of an EJ 20 powered Rosco frame.
