Not a gyro....! My airplane... But read on first because its a good enough deal you might still want it.
1996 Titan Tornado II
This is a 2 seat airplane, Powered by a Rotax 912 ( 80 hp ) engine, warp drive prop.
Plane will fly over 450 pound of pilot/ passenger, plus fuel.
Plane holds 27 gallons of gas and burns less than 5 GPH.
Plane has electric flaps, cabin heat ( from a heater box and radiator, not exhaust muffs ) dual controls, icom radio, adjustable rudder pedals, luggage area, intercom with music input, Plane has strobes, nav lights, landing light, and instrument lighting. plane also has mounting points for titans optional cargo pod / float kit.
Plane will cruise at 115-120 mph at max cruise rpms. Vne speed is 150 mph. Stall speed is high 40's depending on load and temp. visabilty out of this plane is awesome, its as good as most gyros. The pilot sits in front of the wing, so you can see up, to the sides and down very well.
Plane is responsive and very fun to fly. Its not hard or tricky to fly though.
Plane is rated for 6+ 4- G's..... Loops and rolls and other mild aerobatics are fine.
It is the biggest bang for the buck in aviation in my opinion..... you can find planes that go faster, or are roomier inside, etc.... but not for anywhere close to the money you would have in a titan, and not with the titans low operating costs. Remember, this plane typically is burning 3-4 gph of car gas, and although I run 93 octane in it, it is designed to burn even cheaper 87 octane. I pay about 50$ a year in property taxes for the plane.....
Its not a gyro, but it is a way for you to take up yourself and wife or a kid, or your best buddy in the whole wide world, etc... for less than you would pay for most single place gyros.
I am asking for 15 grand, and I don't have much wiggle room at that price.
Going to replace this plane and my gyro, with a 4 place airplane, and hoping there is some change left over to start buying some metal and start construction this winter of another single seat scratch built gyro.
