Hi Kyle...

I surely agree with Phil...taxi take-offs with gyros are tricky. Side wind gusts can tip it over before the rotor is up to speed and frequently you run out of runway or by the time it lifts off it's so far away it's easy to lose orientation.

One approach you might find helpful is to hold the gyro with the nose up at about 45 degrees, while walking slowly into the wind. Give the rotor a spin by hand and keep walking until it really is pulling upward. Then lower the nose to a level flight attitude, give it full throttle and "feel" if the plane wants to tilt one way or the other. Correct the tilt tendency with lateral trim of the rotor until the plane feels as if it want to fly level. If it feels as if it wants to fly....go ahead and release it with a GENTLE push...better if is just wants to fly out of your hand while still walking into the wind.

Once you have it trimmed properly, then taxi take-offs will probably be easier.

Good Luck!

Bill
