Hi Im in process of building my electric autogyro first time, I see so many variations of hubs and some work well that differ from others, some have no up stops and 1 bolt, some have a solid round disks and nothing else,some say you need a delta hub, whats the scoop on they work or dont ? I realize you need the negitive incedence and balance blades and a clark<y to start.but whats with the blades to hub attachments they differ a lot? {please email me ASAP build one now} ronplanes@optonline,net http://home.comcast.net/~wahid17a/DSC00525.JPG[IMG]

I believe the Dleta type heads help with spin up.. As the blade tips flex up the pitch is reduced. As they flatten out it is increased. Hard to explain but if you make a small model you can see it.
