3 - CONTROL STICK (3) - in takeoff position (rear limit stop).
Once the nose wheel has lifted, move the control stick forward and balance the gyroplane on
the main wheels.
WARNING:
During the balancing phase, the attitude must be so that neither the
nose wheel (pitch down) nor the rear wheel (pitch up) touches the ground. Practicing of
“balancing” or taxiing on tarmac runways for more than 30 minutes continuous, without
flight, may cause the brakes and the wheels to overheat. This is normal; restrict these
exercises to periods of less than 30 minutes continuous.
4 - TAKEOFF:
A) correct the roll induced by the engine torque (stick (3) to the left);
B) reach and maintain attitude so as to obtain 65 mph [55 Kn] (Best rate of climb speed).
NOTE:
See the APPENDIX for more information on takeoff.

See the APPENDIX for mare information on speed and rates of climb.
