Gyroplane KIT – Experimental Amateur Built

Kits are registered as Experimental Amateur Built (E-AB)
Our kits can be considered “Quickbuild” and typically take between 8 – 14 days to assemble
Kits must be assembled under the supervision of one of our Independent Locations, there is a fee for Builders Assist, the cost varies depending on the model but starts at $4,500 and goes up from there. Builder Assist fees are paid to the location that is assisting you and not included in the purchase price of the aircraft.
All E-AB aircraft must complete a Phase One Fly Off, you can find more information about the Phase One at, http://www.faa-aircraft-certification.com/amateur-built-operating-limitations.html.
Training cannot begin in this aircraft until Phase One has been completed
The person assembling the aircraft will be named the Builder of Record and may be able to receive a Repairman’s Certificate from the FAA. This will enable that individual to complete the conditional inspection that is required every 12 months to maintain airworthiness
After aircraft assembly, the plane must be inspected by a DAR (Designated Airworthiness Representative) and they will issue an Airworthiness Certificate
Prior to its first flight the aircraft should complete a thorough ground test run, we have a checklist available for each of our models
