WELL, this certainly has turned out to be an interesting thread...
...
Therefore, I think I have found my angle... Its got 3 wheels, it does not use
public roads, and it will not fly. Therefore, it SHOULD be possible to
classify it as an ATV, rather than an aircraft, even though it does have
"wings". That takes 1/2 of the fun out of it, but maybe I could compensate by
making the engine louder or something.
Well if you find out that your state regs on ATVs are too burdensome
then maybe you can get the FAA to classify it as an experimental.
It surely won't be the first experimental aircraft to not get out
of ground effect. I'm sure lots never got off the ground at all.
