I would be interested in swapping one of my gyros for:
An enclosed trailer w/ side door. I'm allergic to cut grass so no used lawn trailers. I'm like something I could take a gyro on the road with and then use as a camper when I got there.
A good used touring motorcycle.
If you have either of those give me a call. I have a Gyrobee finished in the last year and flown every week. It's got a 447, 24' blades, no pre-rotator, and is below 254 pounds. It hasn't been painted yet. The tail is a tube and fabric unit off an ultralight and will need the fabric replaced at some point. Not an award winner but tons of fun and almost no costs to maintain or fly. I've also got a Soma with a Hirth 65 hp. It's got all the toys. It has about 150 hours on it and is flown every week. Pre-rotator, rotor brake, rotor rpm, alt, tach, airspeed, cht, egt, egt, etc. Strong, honest, smooth flying bird.
I am not able to take off and drive all over the country. If we trade it would have to be somewhere we could meet and get back the same day. Let me know if you are interested.

I have a Harley Low Rider with low miles I'd consider swapping for the Soma.

Sounds like a Plan... I will go out and buy Curran a trailer, he swaps me for the Soma, then I swap you for the Harley! What a sweet deal!!!!

Geeze, and to think I sold my Harley and bought a ford escort and a massey ferguson, and I could have gotten a gyro! :(

There is a picture of the Gyrobee in Taggart's Completions page. I've never figured out how to attach pictures to the Forum. Send me an email and I'll send you some pictures. Please note the need for any swaps to be near Jacksonville, Fl. I really can't get away for multiple day trips this time of the year.
