Hi Xcaliber,
Last week I tried to fly again my Autog 2.
Unfortunately I failed this time since after take-off the Autog rolled sharply to the left and fell aside. (As it did in the past after hand launch-see attached photo)
I used 2 deg right tilt in the rotor head.
I assume that the stability problem caused maybe due to low RPM of the rotor.
When you use a prerotator as in the AGY2 when do you stop the auxiliary motor?
I stopped it before the start of the take-off run.
