![]() Before buying an autogyro kit ask the seller if their kits are certified and who uses them. The gyrocopter kits are sold between $7,000 - $8,000 and $25,000 - $30,000 - at least those that I have seen ( You can find some kits here). The most popular way of obtaining a gyrocopter is by building it from a gyrocopter kit. The price of personal autogyros can be quite affordable but it depends on whether you are going to buy a ready one or build your gyrocopter yourself. ![]() You see, it's just an unusual animal about which you have to decide yourself - whether you like it or not.īut if you like it, is there a chance to own a personal gyrocopter? Absolutely yes! In most countries the gyrocopters are flown with experimental/homebuilt or ultralights license if such is needed - so if you can fly another ultralight or microlight aircraft, you should be able to own an autogyro too. However the gyroplanes fly a bit faster than helicopters. One autogyro is for sure cheaper to operate than a helicopter but doesn't have the same ability for precise vertical landing and take off. ![]() Said simpler, the gyrocopters need much shorter landing field than the fixed wing airplanes, but at the same time are not as fast as most of them. First, why would you want to own a gyrocopter instead of an ultralight helicopter? The gyrocopters are not for everyone's taste - they combine the advantages of fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft but can't compete with both on any of these advantages. ![]()
