x
Start an ascent, controlling the position of the gyrocopter and the engine parameters.
CAUTION:
Pay attention to optical parallax, as you do not sit at the aircraft axis. Move the stick in
the right manner. Do not move it diagonally if you want to make a move forwards or
backwards. It is recommended to practise this reflex on the ground with an instructor
.

Climb, Cross-Country Flight, Descent
x
Controlling climb and descent is performed by moving the throttle lever coordinated with
the movement of the control stick. An optimal climb speed is 105 km/h.
x
Climb: increase the engine rotational speed, by moving the throttle lever forwards.
x
Descending: decrease the engine rotational speed, by moving the throttle lever backwards.
x
A cross-country speed depends on the take-off weight, the engine rotational speed and
atmospheric conditions.
x
Trim: Trim the gyrocopter till it fly straight and level.
x
The
is designed so as to react to the pilot’s instructions in an intuitive
and normal
manner: increasing throttle causes climb, reducing throttle causes descent.
