Default Jay Carter's jump take off gyro

At Oshkosh this year I watched Rusty Nance (Current Pres PRA) flying the
little Carter gyrocopter perform a jump takeoff that went from ground to
around 100' in the air and then just flew away. Jay Carter showed me a
video where the ship jumped straight into the air and came straight back
down to the same spot. Yeah I know...The ship was useable after the
landing. This little ship is making my helicopter nervous.
