Default RE: Roll T/O question

OK, guys, the real thing (Pitcairn-style gyro) could take off in 150 feet or less with a prerotator. The technology for model prerotation has been there for some time now. Takeoffs in 10-20 feet are possible. I don't understand why the folks who designed this gyro won't add the simple prerotator. Why play around with long taxiing, risky takeoffs, etc. when there is a clearly better alternative ??? MAKE THE PT ALL IT CAN BE !!! It is long overdue, from the number of takeoff/rotor spin-up problems I have heard about on this forum. I would buy one if it had a factory prerotator. Charlie Anderson
