After having flown my gyro several times today I almost begin to like it. Initially a beast it is now more an advanced trainer.
Left and right turns are now easily done. The flip over to the right I had earlier has been solved by setting up the radio for less sensitivity to the right than to the left. I have also mixed in some rudder which gives flatter turns that are more stable.
Still the machine has far from hands off stability. It must be controlled all the time. This is something that surprises me. If it is left alone it will roll either to the right or to the left. It would spiral to ground if it did not receive the right correction. So it is time for me to find out how to improve lateral stability.
After having flown all kinds of ordinary RC airplanes for 40 years it is a new and thrilling experience to fly an autogyro. And I am glad I fly it standing on the ground and not sitting in it. I wound never thrust one.
