Great deal on Ebay, buy it now $18k.. 2010 MTO sport, just a slight rollover due to linked nosewheel...... Shoot, it will buff out. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-Auto-Gyro- ... _353wt_900

AHA ....... so THAT's where the Tomball police gyro ended up ... Insurance Company ... sellling off the carcase!!!! Desmon was interested in getting hold of it to rebuild!!! No one would tell him where it had gone to! I wonder what It'd cost to get rebuilt!! ... @ 520 hrs / idle prop strike .... NAAAH ... hafta be really cheap to be worth it!

The mast is damaged, the tail keel is bent....I'm thinking new air frame=$$$$$.
Everything else seems fixable.
Chris those where my exact thoughts when I saw the texas tags on that truck.
Still considerably cheaper then buying one for 60 grand.
I made a bid on it still.

That would be helpful... Question is would Jake want to work on a Eurogyro. I'm sure Desmon would help too since he is intimate with them already. That is if he is not already bidding on it. In the interest of non competition is any one here bidding on it too?...I don't want to pay a lot if I don't have to by getting into a bidding conflict.... I realize it is a free world and ppl can do what they want I'm asking anyone here who might be to consider not bidding against me and just let me buy it. It's only a request and it's selfish of me just asking! It is what it is. Sight unseen it still has some value if the prop strike did not damage the engine which is what I am really concerned about cuz that and the avionics is where the value still is in this MTO. Way I see it is fix r up , make it right and resell it to help finance a dream gyro....u all know which one I want more!!!! Thankx in advance if you go easy on the bidding!!

It's official I'm highest bidder on eBay w/ reserve not being met yet of coarse, but I'm hopeful. Did and doing research and talking with a few ppl like Desmon has confirmed if fixed and flying again with new parts and FAA certified I should be able to sell it later for 60K. Wanna guess what the profits will go towards? It will definitely be something nice....

How much is to much...I keep hearing that but no numbers. What it's worth to many might be different in the other groups eyes!!! Define "to much." In other words. I value your opinion.

Does that gyro have an N number? All repairs would be major mods so can it get a new airworthy certificate?

Well the frame needs to be stripped and that statutes a complete build. Way over 51% This is for parts only. Sooooo there is nothing needed with it since it will have to come completely apart in order to rebuild it.

From what I understand there was a blade strike with sudden stoppage on the engine .
$5.000 tops .
That thing could all be junk .
Good luck .
