Default Flying Motorbike

Lawrence Farnham, Fort Collins CO.
FC-1 Fly-Cycle 1954 = 1pOlwM; 75hp Continental A-75; span: 29'7" length:
19'0" v: 85/x/30 range: 150. A genuine flying motorbike; the pilot had no
cockpit, but rode the plane sitting astride the fuselage with his feet
resting on the wings. Control was by means of handlebars and a twist-grip
trottle in the right grip. As a "working" plane, containers for
crop-spraying could be carried in its wings. [N201A].



Found the picture, thanks to TerryJ's info.
