Ok so I decided to take the plunge and buy a 2 seat gyro. I thought long and hard and decided on a 2 seater, open or closed. Buy new, or used though? I thought I would get a list of as many manufacturers as I could find, from all over the world. From the US to Hungary and every country in between.
I sent out email after email asking for their prices, with or without engines, with or without instruments, kit or assembled. I then sat back and waited for the emails to come flying in. And I waited. And I waited some more. After 2 weeks later and guess how many have responded.......
1, one, uno, einz, un. And that was from Brako gyro in Italy, and he wouldn’t give me a price unless I visit his factory, a nine hour round trip.
So can anyone explain this as it seems a pretty bad business practice? I have searched and searched the internet and any prices are a few years old and very few companies advertise their prices.
I think if they can’t answer emails, how reliable would their company, and product for that matter, be?
Its got to the stage where I think buying used would be a more reliable way to purchase.
Any views, recommendations would be welcomed
