Default Help with Autogyro

I have recently been looking into building an autogyro, but I am wondering how hard they are to fly. I have been flying r/c airplanes for several years and have become an accomplished pilot. Would I have any problems with flying an autogyro such as the Kellet produced by Autogyros of Arizona? Also, how are the controls used to pilot an autogyro? The Kellet has left and right tilt on the rotor, along with an elevator and rudder. Do you use the tilt of the rotor to bank into a turn and then use the elevator to maintian altitude and bring it around or is the rudder used? Just wondering so I'll know what I'm getting myself into if I decide to build one.
