Bensen gyrocopter. MAC engined w/ brand-new rotors.
$3000. I have no photos.
Contact Bret Matney.
Cell phone # is 36Zero-9Zero3-Zero549.
A fellow PRA Chapter 73 member has given up his dream of flying a gyroplane to sell his collection of gyroplanes due to heart issues. That & the lack of local dual seat gyroplane instruction killed his dream. I have seen his gyro collection in person & can vouch for him as a reliable & honest person.
He owns his own trucking firm & had a half dozen drivers employed until recently, when his health forced him to scale back.
He is going to be driving from his home in Ridgefield, WA, to San Diego, CA, sometime in the next month & is willing to meet up w/ a buyer anywhere along the way. No delivery costs if along that path of Ridgefield, WA to SD, CA!
That alone is a great deal, as no time or $$ spent shipping/breaking down the gyro into boxes!
He also has another Bensen w/ blades, a Montgomery Merlin (British gyrocopter w/ a cool-looking enclosed cockpit & fairing wrapped around the nose wheel shaft.) as well as a Vancraft (supposed new Mac 70 engine) as well as a Sport Copter Yamaha-powered Lightning gyro that I used to own b/4 he bought it. I do not know his prices for those other four gyros.
The cell coverage around his home is spotty. Sometimes the cell signal is good enough for a conversation if he walks around his property to get a stronger one. I believe he might also have a landline, but I don't have that.
His VM mailbox is full & he likes it that way! You can text him (he also doesn't care for texting, other than a few words!) or call him & he'll call you back once he sees you've called him.
My suggestion is to text him your name & # & that you're interested in his gyro. Then call him so he can see who it is that is calling him.
I am posting this for Bret. No compensation to me when he sells any of these.
