Ron, ALWAYS a joy to review your teaching videos on methods. I find them a fantastic reference and an asset to staying current and safe. Fly well and stay safe.

I think I've watched most of your videos, Ron, and am now cycling through them for a second time to pick up things I missed the first time around. Very nicely done.

These videos are awesome. Crosswind landings are to me a good problem to have. Im in the position that im unable to afford the training or the machine. If I get to the point where crosswinds are an issue, i'll consider myself blessed.

What design features determines maneuvering speed in reference to gyroplanes? In fixed wing aircraft it is the speed in which full deployment of the control surfaces can be used without damage to the aircraft. Wing loading from additional g-forces is a major factor but as a Gyroplane will “ bleed” airflow through the disk, offset somewhat by a momentary increase of rotor RPM, damaging forces from G-loading by design cannot happen. With the increase in speed, depending on design a Gyroplane can bring an increase in pitch sensitivity. Is maneuvering speed more related to a comport level or skill set rather than a design limitation?

Love the videos. I am a student in Europe and I appreciate the different model etc. I noticed you don't set your altimeter for local. Do you just do the math in your head...you start out around 400 ft? Sorry I am a novice and just curious

For most flying in the U.S., we set the altimeter to the current field elevation or local altimeter setting. That way you're on the same page with ATC if you use their services and they assign an altitude. The only exception I've found is glider flying where we virtually never talk to ATC. Then we'll zero out the altimeter so it is always height above field elevation.

Ridiculous to sit on the runway to prerotate. Increases danger and inconsiderate and unnecessary.

I think his thought process is the risk of making sharp turns with the rotor spinning, especially for novices, outweighs the slight risk of taking 30 seconds to spin them up once aligned for takeoff. I've seen (and done) it both ways.
