The autogyro engine is tested and other work begins
Yesterday (22 May 2010) we carried out Non Destructive Testing (NDT) on the engine to look for any possible internal damage. Thankfully none showing up here at Nongprue Airfield, Thailand. We then ran the engine today Sunday to full power. It was great to have the engine running again for the first time since the beginning of May.

We are now stripping down the aircraft ready for rotor mast repair so we are showing steady progress.

Glad to hear the engine at least is running well. It's good to know Gyrox is in safe hands and will hopefully soon be back in the air. Chin up Norman!
ReplyDeleteFantastic and uplifting news. A great start to the week. Good to hear the engine is AOK and we look forward to hearing that the mainframe and rotor mast are fixed and ready for action. It's all looking good :-)
ReplyDeleteNorman,
