Thanks for that Dave. That was an excellent demonstration on how the Auto G works!
Thanks so kindly.
I really love the way that thing sounds when it flies. It sounds so cool. Nice flying as always and a superb landing. Ha ha haah! 😂😂 Semper Fi.
It sounds cool all right. Thanks much, Scott. Semper Fi!
Good stuff, enjoying mine all stock, I did buy a spare set of blades a couple weeks ago when they were in stock
Good for you. I liked mine all stock too, till I slightly scraped the blades on landing and they broke years ago. Good you found blades.
Another fantastic job on the flight Dave👍😎👍
Thanks so kindly.
Thank you again for the flight tips.
It's not only the prop torque, the forward-running rotor blade on the right-hand side generates more lift than the backward-running blade on the left-hand side. So you always have to apply aileron to the right at takeoff. I ordered this interesting thing as it was available in the EU warehouse today and I'm looking forward to fly it. :) I've never flown a gyrocopter before. Like your tips, that will definitely be helpful.
That's right and why I said to give some right and right rudder on take off. The main rotor is not being driven, so there is no lift on the right. It's just a round wing. The torque you will encounter most will be the 3 bladed prop at full throttle. Good luck and happy flying. Let us know how it went. Thanks.
Love to see you try to make this a single blade rotor and prop.
LOL. Well with an unpowered rotor like this, it would never work.
Just got one of these, Thanks for the tips, very helpful
Right on. Have fun. Thanks.
I'm doing my homework with this video. Mine will be here next week!
Right on. Great to hear. Thanks Joe.
@@NightFlyyer I can’t wait to get out your way and fly again this summer.
@@joecserna Me too! Bring this one with you. We can fly together.

yay
Your videos are extremely helpful. I just got mine and have yet to put it together. One thing I need more info on is using the elevator on take off. I understand this needs very little to none up elevator. Is this the case? I understand about the torque roll and need for right aileron input on take off. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Fly safe and greetings from Canada.
Yes, just be gentle on the elevator. Too much up, will slow the rotor. And I mixed about 25% rudder in with the elevator to help with the turning, but still be ready for a heavy left roll on take off. Thanks and Happy Flying.
I wonder if a contra-rotating propeller setup would help with the torque roll?
I dont think so. Body is always twisted one way or the other, no matter what the main rotor is doing from the front prop. Maybe they already have the right setup, and it would be worse with the reversed prop. Good question.
Thanks for the video. What if you used a reverse prop and ran the motor ccw. If I'm looking at it right, the torque roll might counter the added lift on the starboard (right) side?
It might, but maybe they already designed it with the less torque roll so reversing the prop, may make it worse. Good question. Thanks much.
А ведь летает хо-ро-шо. 😊
Hi. I'm scheduled to do radiation for prostate cancer. I watched your video on your first treatment. Do you have any more update videos?
Well, I think it went really well. I have made a second video of my Last Treatment. So far so good. PSA down. Here's the link to it. Good luck. ruclips.net/video/FJrli2ArjJ0/видео.html
@@NightFlyyer Hi, did you happen to have the gold markers placed in your prostate before the treatment?
@@hopper333 I talked to my Dr. and he said they really don't do that much anymore and he could do it without them with this machine, as it is so accurate. Besides, they flood the whole prostate, so markers did not seem necessary. So not wanting to do a surgery like that, I did not. All went well.
Can I just use an M2 (same size as original) nylon bolt with a nylon nut for the breakaway bolt?
I think (if you can find one that small) it would be too weak.
@@NightFlyyer well, I flew mine today. Was a bit windy and I added a bit too much weight to the back of the fuselage so it was a tad bit tail heavy.
Doesn’t like the wind much but otherwise flew great. Was slowing down too much into the wind. Could also be a combo of power and tail heavy setup.
Unfortunately at about 5 minutes into the flight I lost orientation into the sun and also into the wind, G2 lost speed and did a left side dive. I was just about to set her up for a landing too… typical 😂
However, I also made all of the same modifications you did to the blades, only had M2 nylon bolts on hand, used them with the original nuts. blades survived and one of the nylon bolts snapped saving the blade. Thank you very much for your excellent modifications!!! 👏👏👏
I’ll try get some M3 bolts as you used though because the M2 bolts are very delicate. I’d be a bit worried one might snap during flight and since the rotor head isn’t powered I’m not sure if the centrifugal force would keep the blades straight as they do on my helis.
Can I ask, did you add much (or any) weight to the rear of your G2?
Best regards
I love your channel
☺️👍🏻
@@yngwiescott Man, I am right with you. There is really no gliding in. It has to be flown in as you saw. And punching throttle at the end usually torque rolls your blades into the ground on the left. I am sorry you had this happen. But...Soon as I saw you added weight to the tail in the beginning of your comment, I thought why. This thing climbs out really fast, so no, and that will cause it to stall easier on landing. I recommend taking it out. Also I mixed my rudder and cyclic (ail) with 25% mix. That makes turning much easier. I would worry about the thin bolts as I mentioned before. Some mention toothpicks instead, but they are stronger than the M3 nylon, so it will still break blades. Keep flying and thanks again for the great update.
