Rusty, here is a picture of the vents, both
have tape on them, one is on the oil fill tube and the second one is to the
right and comes out of the center rotor housing.
Hi John,
Both of those are open to the crankcase, so you can use one
for the vent, and just stick a rubber cap over the other one.
Be careful with the gyro, we lost a good
friend here, summer before last on his 3rd solo landing. On final he
apparently unloaded the disc at 80 feet AGL.
Sorry to hear that, but unfortunately, there are a number
of unsafe gyros out there, and this is a reasonably common story. I've
done enough research to know which ones are the most stable, and will limit
myself to those models. Truth be told gyros "can" be one of the
safest flying machines there is, and that's one of the reasons I'm attracted to
them for the single rotor testing.
Cheers,
Rusty (haven't flown the RV-8 in
weeks...)
