Light sport Gyro
Cool not so conventional gyrocopter thing I made. AG2 for prop. AG1 activates main rotor but DO NOT use this feature for more than a few seconds other than on takeoff or you will die a dizzy death. It does help for a really short takeoff roll though. AG3 for duel parachutes incase you lose control or want to parachute for some reason. Best takeoff procedure is full power, AG1 for a second or two max then immediately deactivate. Pull up to rotate. Max speed around 155-160 mph. Cruze at 75% throttle around 135 mph. The craft is very stable and small amounts of trim go a long ways. Upon final the craft slows quickly but can land vertically. Keep the craft level and slowly use the collective (VTOL up) to softly touch down.
