OP
As a former gyrocopter owner my ears picked up at "the bolt that held
the collective rod together' -- gyros never used to HAVE a collective
rod. Can you supplly any details?
In general, the more papers you have the better 'protected' you will
be -- but often not well enough anyway.

All I have is one bit of info - about ten years ago our EAA chapter
president was giving rides in a home built gyrocopter and had his
passenger sign a hold harmless agreement prior to the flight. A
bolt that held the collective rod together came out - it was closed
casket funeral time.
The passengers widow chose not to sue because her husband had
signed the hold harmless agreement, and we heard that she had
talked about it with a lawyer.
On the other hand, one widow suing another widow with minimal
assets is not usually profitable... so this anecdote doesn't prove
much
As Beauford says - worth what ye paid fer it.
