Default Sold My Xenon

Blue Xenon SOLD!
Any suggestions?

Yeah, I actually sold my Xenon but the new owner won't take possession until early spring but it has definitely been sold. I know one of the first questions I'll be ask is who bought it? I'm not at liberty to say simply because I haven't ask for his permission to do so.

Oh well can't wait to see what I do next...

How about building a lighweight, open gyro, with a 582,
and see what a gyro is really about.

Why not move up to a Sport Copter II and get the quality you pay for including a real aircraft engine, great performance and loads of room!!!

Of course you can't tell us who, but you CAN tell us WHERE the buyer is located! I am curious.

Does any one know how many SCII's they are selling? I have been eagerly awaiting the news that someone on the list has one and we would be able to get videos and info on how they like it.

If you search the FAA website for

SPORTCOPTER II

it shows only two machines

It maybe others are registered as a Billy Bob Dollar SC2 or similar corruptions.

Why aren't they selling more - plenty of Auto-Gyros coming into the US from Germany at the mo.

I have flown several open gyro's over the years and loved every minute.

When does your arrow copter come in?'

Great looking machine...Who knows I haven't ruled anything completely out.

David . What color is your new Zen 1 ?

I think the Xenon is the ultimate flying machine. If they sort things out, probably blue.

Time for a helicopter?

10,000 parts all trying to commit suicide. Nope!

Why not move up to a Sport Copter II and get the quality you pay for including a real aircraft engine, great performance and loads of room!!!

I wanted one in 2007 when I saw both the Xenon and Sport Copter II. Wasn't available then and don't think it is now. The photos were both taken at Oshkosh in 2007.

Dave, whatever your next toy is, I hope you continue to fly.

Thanks Brent I have no intention of stopping. I love this way too much to quit.

I love the looks of the Cavalon, Zen1 and Sport Copter II. Maybe a manufacturer will make me an offer I can't refuse.

Was there a purpose in selling it ?

Is the new owner thrilled ?

Does the new owner fly gyros already ?

I am happy you got her sold, if that is what you really wanted ? Congrats ! May your next gyro be even better !

The list is long and we shipped the final design to it's owner a couple of months ago.
The tail is different from the one you pictured. We also changed the mast,controls,engine,cooling system,etc,etc.

So, no you won't get one anytime soon. We have to fill the pre-orders first. Sorry.

Meanwhile, we're working on an LSA machine to compete with the latest 912 powered 2 place gyros.....you won't see that one for awhile either.....sorry.
