Hey Abid, kudos for helping sell some used gyros out there. Other manufacturers could take note.

Guys all these used gyroplanes are sold.
One 550+ hour AR-1 with 914 that was available at Zephyrhills belonging to Barry Ford and built in 2017 was offered at Bensen Days and Sun N Fun with fresh annual by Barry who had to move back to the UK. Barry thought about taking it to the UK and fly there as N numbered aircraft with his US license but last week someone picked it up as well.
Right now we have 2 kits that were ordered but the people who ordered it decided not to continue. They are unpainted and ready to get painted and assembled. Need engine,avionics to be ordered. They are in stock. You can get the older price on the and save $5k price increase. Please contact me at [email protected]

There are 2 other kits also ready to go in stock unpainted but they have the $5k price increase.

Wanted to post here and say I got see an enclosed AR-1 up close recently at the Fainting Goat Gyroport. Beautiful gyro hope to get up in one to see what it feels like!

Given this name "Fainting Goat Gyroport" ... I have to ask what is that and where and who is the owner or operator? Most importantly why are the goats fainting there?

It is a breed of goats on the farm. Do a search, they are really funny.

Craig McPherson (sp) owns the facility.

Guys for used AR-1's, my student, friend and customer Barry Maggio is finally willing to part with his 2018 white AR-1. It used his old engine from a Magni (914UL). Engine has 950 hours. Gyroplane and blades around 450 hours. Has MGL iEFIS Lite 7", radio and transponder. Open version.
Please contact me at [email protected] if interested. Price in the 60's. This gyro has flown north to south in the US a few times.

My personal AR-1C 915iS (convertible) is reaching 40 hours now and is available for sale. Flies sweet with Kanardia PFD and Kanardia EMSIS and MGL V6 radio, Sandia Transponder and uAvionix echoUAT + SkyFx EXT for ADSB IN and OUT with iFly 740B GPS.
1400 FPM climb in standard conditions. 150 - 200 foot takeoff roll one up. About 350 foot 2 up. Asking $120k.

Regulars here will be more familiar with the Craig McPherson business of Blueskies gyro & PoweredParachutes ....with his new business partner they have a cool decal for their recently SEALED runway in the hayfield & airport designation. 87TX - Fainting Goat(Pvt) ...Fainting Goat gyrocopters! I took some pictures on my recent week-long visit there ...of the impressive training & build-assist / rotax & gyro service facility! Lovely student bunkhouse & two big barns full of gyros & build-kits!

Haha this is Craig McPherson's facility. As Christine said it is known as Blue Skies Gyros to most feel free to visit his website at https://blueskies.flights if ya'll want to learn more. He has been using the Fainting Goat Airport as a nickname for awhile now.

That being said he was picking up a AR-1 for a customer who just bought it from Tennessee.

 

[Sv.grainne]

But check out the goats!

Oh ok. I know that AR-1C. It has a big bore 912 in it. It needs a couple of directives fulfilled. I am going to send some stuff to him next week.
Of course I know Craig McPherson but I did not know anything about those goats or that goat name for his strip.

Blum, TX. Craig McPherson. My wife and I went there and she logged 1 hour dual received in a gyro. Craig will tell the story of the name. There are goats there.
