HELP NEEDED..... with Firebird improvements.

Hi to those at Lameroo, who gave Firebird the once over, especially ASRA TA's.

I would appreciate any comments, ideas etc that would help me make Firebird meet the 2 seat standards and/or improve Firebird to be a safe, easy to operate, and comfortable gyroplane.

Aussie Paul.

Re: HELP NEEDED..... with Firebird improvements.

Paul, I don't remember whose machine it is or who built it but you can see the nose wheel set up .
I've had the pic on file for a fair while , someone may rcognise it , so I don't know if it it was made by Rosco or Tim.

Paul,
I'll send it on but it will be the same size as here. How would a length of the mast material that Jeff makes go in your undercarriage where it failed after hitting pothole .It may be stronger , i don't know , Muz had some in his Hunchback , the way it mounts on with the formed rubber/plastic may eliminate a weak spot.
