Re: Xenon RST new pics 12 July - new drama

Adding to Jean's post, it is a lesson to ALL makes of gyros represented in SA. We are discussing the Xenon here as it is the example machine in the exercise.

Re: Xenon RST build new pics 30 June

Greg, all these figures are to satisfy the paper pushers who pretend overlooking at your well being, because it has been decided that you are not capable of looking after yourself. I remember in the recent past, the powers tried to impose an AP to change even a spark plug because even if you built y...

Re: Xenon RST build new pics 30 June

I do not have a detailed photo in my lib. This one is not great either but it will give you an idea of at least the horizontal part. Then it slants towards the rear at 30 deg right down to the existing fiberglass floor. Obviously it does not have a square cut to be able to snug the round belly. VT ...

Re: Xenon RST new pics 19 June

Hi Greg, Congratulations in your endeavour, just need to readjust your time scale for deliverables. You will find this exercise very rewarding to have in the end a very comfortable machine, working as you need it to work.
