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

Should I contact AutoGyro USA or a dealer directly?

For specific inquiries such as pricing, aircraft availability, test flights, or flight training, it’s best to contact a dealer near you. Each dealer operates independently and can provide details tailored to your local area and services.

How much do you require for a deposit?

All new gyroplane orders require a 50% deposit for us to schedule your new aircraft into our production schedule. Payments should be made via wire transfer and in US Dollars.

The remaining balance will be due prior to container loading in Germany, the plane must be paid in full prior to transport

Our aircraft are priced in Euros, we will use the current Euro to US Dollar exchange rate each time you submit a payment

How long will it take for my new gyroplane to arrive in the United States?

Lead times for new aircraft orders are currently estimated at 6 to 8 months, depending on production scheduling and the number of orders in the queue. This estimate does not include the additional 3 to 4 weeks typically required for transport from Germany to the United States. By default, all aircraft are shipped to our location in Maryland, unless alternative arrangements are made.

Once the container arrives in the Port it must clear customs, each Port of entry is different, some clear quickly and some take as long as a week or more. This is out of our control, but we do our best to push for a speedy delivery, we know you are excited…we are too!!!
