Flyin' (sky)Ferraris OR The media is catching on...
Looks like our old friend Paul is at it again. Reminds me a lot of the
contractor-guy in that movie "The Money Pit". (When will my house be done? Oh, in about two weeks!) Right. And Jerry Lewis said that we were only a few years away from a cure for MD. That was in 1977. At least the reporter mentioned that Moller International has never actually produced a flying car despite being in business for 25 years. The press might finally be catching on. http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/11/m...066x1200521118 MY plan for a flying car: 1 Shorts Skyvan + 1 Geo Metro = Flying Car Done. Harry Frey |

Descend and maintain 4,000 feet, QNH 1011." "Uhhh Heathrow Approach, could you give us that in inches?" "American 999, descend and maintain 48,000 inches, QNH 1011." |

Thanks to Paul Hanson, I can point you to this belly pod for the RV-10 airplane that carries a small motorcycle: http://www.gizmag.com/motopod-rv-10-...ur-plane/9798/ I'm helping a friend develop a smaller belly pod for RV-8 that will carry a pair of bicycles. Thanks, Bob K. |

Thanks, Bob K. Very cool. This shows that even a small light aircraft can carry a respectable motorcycle. However, I don't think I'd want to be on that bike during rush hour on say, the 405 in Los Angeles. My Kawasaki ZG1000 weighs ~600 pounds See: http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/mod...0_concours.htm Those panniers can carry a weeks clothing for two. My dream is to have a long distance capable motorcycle in a single engine light airplane that could do 1000 miles unrefueled. That would allow some serious surface trips from any airport. Thanks, Bill D |
