In my opinion his description and execution of the "wheel balance technique" is very different than what I have seen in the Pilot's Operating Handbook for the AutoGyro MTO Sport.
His technique is also not by the POH.
I recommend following the POH for your aircraft.
In my experience taking off with the "wheel balance technique" will have the aircraft lifting off very close to the desired climb out speed.
From the POH for the MTO Sport UK edition:
"START AND CLIMB If possible always take off into wind, and ensure CHT and oil temp at least 50degC. The maximum cross-wind component for take off is 22kts. Set the roll trim, if fitted, to fully left. Switch the pneumatics switch to ‘TRIM’, which releases the rotor brake. Keep the engine at about 2000rpm, and the control stick forward. Disengage the parking brake lock pawl, and hold brakes on by squeezing throttle and brake lever together. Actuate the pre rotator by pressing the button, and as rotor speed increases, increase engine speed to suit. Normal pre spin is a rotor speed of 200 rpm (maximum Prerotator speed is 270 rpm). If the rotor speed overtakes the pre rotator, and the pre rotator disengages, release button. Increase engine rpm and re engage. Disengage pre rotator and pull the stick fully back. Check/adjust trim pressure to about 2bar or less if lightly loaded to reduce stick load on take off Let go brakes, and bring the engine up to take off power. Hold direction using the rudder, and as soon as the nose gear wheel takes off, keep the nose down to build up airspeed and take off in a flat attitude. If necessary reduce stick force by actuating the trim. The best climb speed is 65mph. After reaching your chosen altitude (eg 500ft or circuit height), throttle back to level flight rpm, as required for your chosen airspeed. Pay attention in hot weather to the cylinder head and oil temperatures. If these should rise with long climbs over the placarded values, then adjust your speed or attitude to compensate."
