For the exclusive content and the gyrocopter pilot development clinic for taylored advice.

This film is about how to do perfect gyrocopter / gyroplane take offs. Having told you all about the errors you can make – this film is about how to do things well.

Keep it simple, create mental capacity and follow the simple repeatable instructions which are:

* prerotation
* @ 200220 RRPM
1 Stick fully aft & start the ground roll
2 Power to get moving and keep accelerating
@ 250RRPM add 100% throttle and move the stick forward around 12 fists worth and ensure rotor RPM is still increasing [if it doesn't you have gone too far forward with the stick]
RRPM should increase to 300 quite quickly and you can move attention to the unstick, ASI and the climb out airspeed.

1 RRPM = 1 mph tip speed
