Don't know why this hasn't sold yet..... I have been telling everyone about the Soma that Curran was selling and a year and a half later Scott Essex bought it and couldn't be happier. This gyro here is another one of those machines I have been trying to tell people about... It is a nice flying gyro that will fly a big guy with respectable performance and has a reliable real aircraft engine.


Engine is a 75 Hp Cont, with a new Prince P tip prop. Wonderlick pre rotator. 25 foot Dragon Wings rotorblades. Dominator tail. 13 gallons fuel capacity. Decent instrument panel with rotortach airspeed altimeter RPM oil temp oil pressure and dual CHT. Has real aircraft tires, differential braking and like the ad says it is true CLT. Engine is low time SMOH and is worth by itself nearly the price of the whole gyro. The engine and blades sold by themselves would pay the asking price, and you get a free gyro, rotorhead, tail instruments, seat tank, etc... etc.... etc.... Burns about 4 gallons of unleaded 93 Octane per hour and is CHEAP to operate.

In this pic the prop is not the new Prince. With the Prince prop Chuck the owner wants 8500$ OBO, without the Prince and instead the prop on it in this pic he will take a grand less. OR just make a reasonable offer. It is N numbered and totally legal if you want to go that route, or peel off the numbers and do what you want with it.
