Builder Tip #64 from HomebuiltHELP 
What's so Good about a Gyroplane?
We took a visit over to Bensen Days, Wauchula, Florida for a grand Gyroplane fly-in

When attending a major fly-in of gyroplanes such as Bensen Days, a wonderful opportunity exists to investigate first hand how these machines operate. It makes it easy when so many builders and pilots are in one place with their machines - ready to share their knowledge!

If we are familiar with the principles of fixed wing aircraft, we can use that knowledge to contrast and compare that understanding with gyroplane flight to better understand how these machines fly.

In our short video made during a visit to this year's Bensen Days, we took an analytical look at the mechanics of the rotor head which provides the gyroplane directional control and lift.

Sonex now produces the new 'B' model aircraft. 
We have the step by step DVD that shows how the tail is assembled 

Sonex announced last year that they are replacing their popular aircraft  with the new 'B' model (larger cabin, bigger fuel tank, etc). 
Our Sonex Tail DVD demonstrates construction of the tail components of this new model (the tail of the Sonex B remains unchanged from the previous model).

If you are considering building this new Sonex aircraft, watching this DVD will provide detailed insight into the effort required to build this kit. If you are building, this DVD will save many hours of your time by showing the sequence of parts assembly and shortcuts from an experienced builder
