This is intended to be a record of my activities over the past few years and a chronicle of current projects. I'm going to try to update the pages at least once a week, the object of the exercise is to let folks see that making things is not difficult and can also be fun. Initially it will be just Gyrocopter activities. So, here goes....
First off, I do things as a function of my ability, equipment, experience and knowledge but principally my humour. There are many good ways to do any single thing and I'm certainly not going to suggest that mine is better than any other. If it happens to suit me, it may not suit you - that's life. I'm always open to suggestions for simpler, faster, cheaper, or more entertaining methods. In my book, the journey has always got to be at least as enjoyable as the arrival.
I've added the long promised pics of the Airframe and control items. Also pics of the Rotorhead bits and a new Pod page. We've fitted the first shell to its airframe and have started on the inner glasswork. It's been a long haul with lots of pauses for other things but the end is in sight, if you use a bright light and a strong glass ;-)
