If you push the stick to quick/fast forward the rotor stops
Uhh.. well in essence yes, well put.
I have some hours in gyro“s. They are great fun to fly but that big rotor windmilling creates a horrendous drag which costs power to overcome.
In some ways the gyro is the best and worst of both worlds. It has the simplicity of airplane and manueverability of the helicopter but it also is expensiver to run than airplane and slower but yet still does not do what a helicopter can do.
