Default RE: Robbe Whopper

Thanks mnowell129 and billf. I really don't want to total the gyro if I can help it.
Woopie, do you have anything spelled out that you can share? The main thing is I need to know if she is airworthy as far as power, throw settings, etc. and what not to do. Any info you can pass on would be greatly appreciated.
I recall reading about standing on the string while the rotor comes up to speed, then disengaging the clutch while throttle is applied, letting her do her mild bank during climb and using rudder for the turns. I also read you don't want to hold flare on landing, lest you take off the tail feathers.
Anything else? Like head rotor rpm, etc.?
Thanks. Doc
