Greg Gremminger, Magni Gyro
Greg Gremminger talks about how to by a used gyroplane. Before you put out your hard earned money for a gyro, there are things you should take into consideration like the condition of the aircraft and whether you will be able to obtain nearby training for the machine you are thinking of getting. There is far more to buying a gyro than being the low bidder on ebay. Magni Gyro USA (6/6/06)
