High altitude Helicycle

Since it's evidently free, I don't see how you'd be risking anything form YOUR side. It involves a hockey goalies face mask and when worn at meal time will cut your 225 down a bit. I imagine that wouldn't go over too well when I take the wife out to dinner. I know the Helicycle says that for pilots less than 180# it is possible to add a 5 gal. aux tank to increase the range. Well my 194# didn't look to good anyway (73") so after looking at the 72" 170# guys on WEC I decided that I can go there. My 194# is now @ 182# and going down. I didn't have to resort to the goalies mask yet. Man, I was 170 lbs at my HS graduation, 175lbs when I got married 6 years later... I can't blame anyone but the cook in the house - me! Update: 180 and headed for 170#. BTW don't worry about the goalies mask in a restaurant. If a very large number of people ever decide to avoid diabetes and high blood pressure., you will look strange without a mask. Obesity seems to be a very popular sport right now. For some reason the helicopters attract a lot of people who would primarily only qualify for a two seat Huey. Or a 1/2 seat R-22? Stu |
