Excellent, learnt this way over 30 years ago. Still best way to learn in a gyro particularly a light weight gyro can't get as close to light stick feel as a gyroglider. A lot less take off incidences would happen if people learned to wind up rotors in a dual gyroglider by hand first. Never saw anyone flapping blades at our club it wasn't until latter that blokes who had had to teach themselves that I saw lots of that. They all had pre-rotators but often would still get into blade flap. Of course most machines are too tall or enclosed to hand wind rotors but there was a lot to be learned in the simple and cheap machines. Its a great pity there are not many clubs still operating them so much experience you can get in a glider at next to no cost. We threw the baby out with the bath water. We should be keeping the old glider and adding the two seat powered instruction on top of it. Just my opinion.
