RAF 2000 Gyroplane Prerotation and Takeoff Walkthrough

Here is a walkthrough of the RAF 2000 gyroplane prerotation and takeoff for shortfield operation. I will make another one with better first person view when I perfect my "iPhone helmet" (masking tape). I am NOT an instructor so this video is not for instructional purposes. It is for information purposes only. Thanks.

Appreciate you taking the time to film, buying one soon so I am trying to find out every thing I can.

Bryan Caskey hello! Did you finally buy the RAF?

[@BobcatMartin]

Almost like I was there. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@xgi36]

Thanks for the ride.

[@TheRjjrjjr]

This is a really great video but could you do it again and assure we can see your gauges and controls? That would help a curious newbie like me.

Very cool! thanks!

[@gyrocopterkai]

That was good fun!

Brian, I noticed that in some of the videos you removed the HS. How does the stabilator work vs. the HS. Im interested in getting my gyro certification to cfi and I really love the raf2000.

I sure do miss my RAF2000. N4608Q. I sold it years ago and its still got my name associated with the N number.

Great job Brian! You have a very nice setup and a great life ahead of you. I hope you have room for Jesus Christ in your life as He is the only way to true happiness and eternal life! I hope you continue to enjoy life and things go well-Blessings!

Anyone in the market for a RAF 2000 efi? I have one for sale, Edmonton Alberta.

Jerry Moody Hello Jerry. I sold it to the owners of Air Adventure Flight School in Drayton Valley. They are completing the certification and will likely be selling it once completed.

Jerry Moody .Call the guys over at Air Adventure.... they have a contact that has built many and has 100s of flight time. There are many gotchas and improvements made on this RAF over the years. For your safety I recomend buying one with all the improvements.
