Default Robbe Whopper

Recently acquired a Robbe Whopper Autogyro with a .60 2 stroke engine but I don't have any specs or instructions. Have read several posts about the "string on the tail" thing, the tendency to roll left and the use of rudder for gradual turns but not sure about the throws, angle of blade pitch, etc. Am currently working my way through www.autogyro.com, great info there. This is my first gyro and am a little nervous about flying it.
In addition to specs, can anyone give me some hints about how to check "airworthiness" and "readiness" of the Whopper prior to lift off to avoid a catastrophic crash? I would rather NOT fly it and keep it as a hangar queen than crumple it. My RC experience consists of about 25 planes, no autogyros until now. Thanks.
