Enkel sitplek gyro onder R 100 000

[hennies1]

Hi

Is dit moontlik om 'n enkel sitplek gyro te bou onder R 100 000

Watter een en is daar dalk een wat reeds gebou is in S.A.

Almal het nie 'n half miljoen vir 'n gyro nie

Groete

Hennie

wil jy een bou of koop

daar is usa kits wat amper daar sal kom maar engine is die groot faktor

Hello Henies1
Jy sal sukkel om een te kry vir R100,000, self uit die VSA. Daarna sal jy ook sukkel om dit by die SACAA deur te kry vir goedkeuring en registrasie ens.

Ek dink dit is moontlik om baie naby aan R 100 000 in die lug te kom met 'n enkelsitplek, baie basiese gyro. Die enjin is definitief die grootste onkoste. By Rhino park is 'n enkelsitplek Bensen met 'n Arrow enjin, en ek het syfers van R 130 000 gehoor.

Die airframe van 'n gyro is baie eenvoudig. As jy 'n getoetste rotorkop met rotor kan kry, bou jy 'n gyro in jou garage. Die weights en balances is die grootste issue om in gedagte to hou, en dit is ook nie rocketscience nie. As jy bietjie ronkyk wat vlieg hulle in Amerika, dink ek dit is lankal tyd dat iemand lokaal moeite doen. Ek dink daar is definitief 'n behoefte, en 'n mark aan 'n bekostigbare gyro lokaal.

Hi there

Still need to figure out whether Hennies1 and Hennie1 is the same person, but I will reply to both.

I have a registered Bensen with a 65hp Rotax (single ignition) available for R 65,000.

In case you are interested, I know of a Magni M14, single seater gyro available for about R65k.
Not sure of the hours or the engine type and hours etc, but will find out if you are keen. Let me know and I will follow up for you.

Hi Len

I am looking for something to get some expierience on while saving for the "Bigone" I am busy with training at Kitty Hawk on the MT 03
and want to stay flying as soon as it is over.

If you can get the info together I will appreciate it.

Regards

Pierre

Pierre al die ouens wat 550k + vir 'n gyro kan bekostig en nog nie in 'n Sycamore gevlieg het nie, sal jou uit my voorstel uit praat, maar kom gesels met my by Rhino. Ek kan vir jou aan 'n Sycamore voorstel teen 'n baie bekostigbare prys - < 200k - en jy kan 'n passasier vat terwyl jy spaar.

Just a thought.

I will track the owner down and get the info for you. In my humble opinion, I find flying alone a lot less rewarding than flying with someone but its still flying!

In the meantime, go see Low Level since I agree 100% with him.
If you discard/ignore comments from anyone who doesn't have at least 10 hours in a Sycamore you will probably be astounded and end up spending your money wisely.

Daar is 'n Amerikaanse autogyro, met die enjin voor. Geen PPO probleme nie. Enkel sitplek, half-VW enjin, blykbaar verkoop die ou planne. Aluminium konstruksie, ek weet nie hoeveel vlieg nie. Ongelukkig het ek die URL verloor, maar mens kan op die net soek.

[Trikenut]

I have no hours in a Sycamore... infact in any gyro! But after flying with Len, I can tel you those Sycamores can give the fighter jets a run for their money. It is a nice gyro, and this talk of it being to heavy to fly is %^$#. If I ever get my gyro licence, this will be the first gyro I will consider!
Good luck with your search for a gyro.

Hi Hennie

Personally I would consider a two-seater for JetRanger is right.

When I was being trained my instructor told me that there were three stages you went through as a gyropilot, the first is where you are satisfied with flying around on your own, the second is sharing with someone else (a passenger) and the third is flying away with a gaggle of other gyroplanes. For me the first stage did not last too long and the second and third blur in that when flying in a gaggle a passenger is not always necessary but it is very rewarding to "convert" someone else onto gyroplanes.

JetRanger, I like your avatar. Was that photoshopped or taken in England?
