Roadable Aircraft ... What about this?

I seem to recall a homebuilt that didn't succeed in the market. 4
landing gear, V8 engine, swing away tail, fuselage made to haul 1000
pounds of 4x8 plywood. Not ideal for this mission, but a good start.
Can't remember the name.

Or, there's this - http://www.coastcomp.com/av/fltline2/avion.htm

Well, you know what all that whisky does to one's memory.... But I
think that's the one.

Part 103 doesn't have such a burdensome reg ...or that LSA turbine
prohabition, either. :-)

more than five gallons of gas, Monty?
or over stall speed?

cri-cri is cute, but at 360 pounds and 36 pounds thrust
I bet acceleration is a bit underwhelming...

Yeah... that's it. Sure, that gas thing. Yup, too much gas.

No other 103 references here folks. Move along now...

I just noticed something on this page:

The bottom of the page is clever and, and, and ...kind of cute

....in a manly airplane kind of way. :-)

Hadn't seen that design employed before.
