A stable gyroplane does not take 100% concentration 100% of the time.

An RAF 2000 is not a stable gyroplane.
A SparrowHawk is a stable gyroplane.

Lox, you seem to have your mind made up, and it sounds like the

One of the highest time gyro instructors in the U.S. is Ron Menzie. Ron
is also a Designated Examiner for gyros.
He was an RAF dealer until he broke ranks over the horizontal
stabilizer issue. Take a look at his evaluation of the horizontal
stabilizer on the RAF.

Oh yeah, he's now a SparrowHawk dealer.

test hours. He now raves about the flying qualities of the SparrowHawk.
Here's the latest thread he started:
