Some tips for you when making an auto gyro.
1: always increase rotor vibration dampening to prevent wobble on takeoff.
2: while cyclic can be used for roll axis, disable pitch axis to prevent excessive rotor slowdown on takeoff and landing. You can slowly add more pitch authority once you have it flying without.
