Regarding RAF safety and construction, I suggest to our UK friends (and all other of you)
who consider flying this gyroplane, to carfully read this AAIB report:
http://www.aaib.gov.uk/cms_resources...BA%2009-07.pdf
Especially the part:
Tests and research
Gyroplane stability research by Glasgow University
(starting page 72)
Short quotations:
‘The gyroplane had unacceptable longitudinal
dynamic stability above 70 mph and unacceptable
directional stability with the doors fitted.
‘The Stabilator dramatically improved the
gyroplane’s trim system however the gyroplane
tested exhibited similar static and dynamic
stability characteristics to a similar gyroplane
tested without a Stabilator.’
The Stabilator, is what FH1100 describes as:
a trimmable stab just behind the cabin and above the engine.
