Good point BOBAKAT - most pilots know that loading the rotor will increase RRPM due to flare effect but, unless they have been shown it, probably don't know that the opposite happens too - unloading the rotor with a reduction in G reduces the RRPM markedly.

Since an autogyro is in permanent autorotation, reducing the Nr by shoving the stick forward would be very bad indeed.
