8. Trim................................................................as desired
NOTE:
TRIMMING AFTER TAKEOFF
Maintain the required attitude in the climb by maintaining rearward pressure on the stick.
Operate the trim switch to trim nose up (backward) until the load on the control stick
is reduced.
NOTE:
If the trimming operation is undertaken after the first takeoff or with the trim fully forward,
15 to 20 seconds of action are necessary before the trim control becomes effective.
Once you feel that the load on the control stick has been reduced as required, reduce
the rearward pressure on the control stick and maintain a constant speed.
NOTE:
TRIM SWITCH BACKWARD = nose up trim = reduced speed
TRIM SWITCHCONTROL = nose down trim = increased speed
Operate the trim switch with small impulses to nose up or nose down until reaching and
stabilizing the desired speed.
Carefully release the control stick to check if the speed is maintained correctly.
NOTE:
Trimming may start during the climb after the takeoff. Trimming must be stopped and
corrected after the levelling off, during straight and level flight.
NOTE:
Always wait a few seconds after making an adjustment using the trim switch. This allows
correct trimming and avoids too many attitude variations preventing the gyroplane from
maintaining a constant attitude and speed.
Operations upon reaching a safe altitude (300 - 500 ft):
9. Brakes............................................................apply to stop wheels rotation
10. Throttle.........................................................reduce power if there are no obstacles
11. Landing light.................................................OFF
12. Engine indications .......................................check
5.11.2 CROSSWIND TAKE-OFF
During take-off with crosswind, pay attention to maintain the alignment with the runway.
The take-off procedure with cross wind is identical to the procedure without wind. It is only
necessary to use the rudder pedals and control stick conventionally.
