Default This gyro may be on the market soon.... Anyone interested??

Gyro is centerline thrust, with fiberglass dominator tall tail. Steers with the brakes just like a Dominator. It is a modified Bensen, legal with N numbers and all paperwork. Engine is a Cont. 75 horsepower. Dragon wing rotorblades, 25 foot. Wunderlick pre rotator. Two fuel tanks for over 3 hours of flying per fill up. Flys good

Not sure if this price is right cause it isn't my gyro. But I think the price will be around 7500-8000$ as is in the pictures below - or add 1000$ and Chuck will throw in a Brand new Prince P tip propeller he got for it. He says the climbrate went up with the Prince quite a bit, but he is too heavy to fly it with a large reserve of power out of his airport - Elevation over 4000 feet and he weights well over 250 pounds. Flew great for me down here with the plain prop - I weight 200 or so and fly at a elevation of only 600 feet.

Got any more photos, Ron? Engine time and TBO and airframe time, instruments, electronics, lights, etc.? Damage history? Would this one be good for a beginner?
Thanks.

"Wunderlick?" Ron, if you don't stop misspelling my rotor-cable maker guy's name, I'm going to scalp you!

Ken you wise guy!

Rhea, Not sure of the hours and so on. Instruments are basic flight instruments and engine instruments, same as you would find in a old taildragger. No lights or other electrics, you got to prop start this one. No damage history that I am aware of. Would be as good for a beginner as any gyro.

Ron,
Who has it now? Chuck? As in Chuck Bevitt? That trailer in the background looks a tad familiar.

Yes it is Chucks, but he dropped it off at my hangar at Goose Creek today on his way home from ROC. He wants me to have it here to show anyone who might want to buy it.

I flew it at ROC and the Prince prop made a big difference in power for this machine comparied to the other prop that was on it when it was my gyro. In the trust testing we did at ROC this gyro pulled 350 pounds.
