    209-00-24C M24C PLUS FLIGHT MANUAL NOTE: Normally, when taking-off with crosswind, as compared to a no-wind condition, the rudder pedals should be used to keep the aircraft straight whilst applying into-wind control stick. The degree of control inputs will be proportional to the wind strength and speed and should be appropriate to keep the gyroplane aligned with the runway axis.
