Hi Mark,

Nice looking gyro there mate.

Where abouts in NT is this located.

How about some times eg. engine, airframe, rotors

Cheers Trent

The machine has 735 hours. I have only owned it for about 6 months but the owner before me had work done on the motor. With those sort of hours it has likely been rebuilt or replaced since new. It starts easy and runs well.

I have also spoken to the owner 2nd previous to me who replaced the mast and reconditioned the rotor head. I dont know much more history than that.

I dont know the history of the rotors but they have a new 1 inch hub bar as per the recent airworthiness directive. The prop looks as new.

Closest town is Katherine in the N.T.

Cheers

Hi Mark

Good to see you on the forums again mate, might have to give you a call soon

Hope you aren't too wet out there

Regards Mark

Not too wet Mark but plenty of good steady rain. As far as grass and cows are concerned, just what the doctor ordered.

Could be good for the fishing later on also

Hi Mark,

This machine still for sale?

Trent

G,day Trent

I had just sent you an email before noticing your post here. I checked my emails this morning for the first time in 2-3 weeks. I really have to start checking them more regularly.

Machine still for sale if anyone is interested. I am still flying it but (burn me at the stake) am not in favour of the low thrustline.

cheers

I cut and shut a high thrustline gyro a few years ago until it was what I believe as close as possible to centreline thrust.

I got very comfortable with how it handled and prefer it to the pitch excursions that are experienced with a low (or high for that matter) thrust line.

Cheers
