Probably with a couple gallons of fuel and a 150lb pilot on board...

I wish someone would make an experimental/hombuilt capable of housing
my 74" and 225 lbs.


Kevin: You are a candidate for my guaranteed power-to-weight enhancement
program. It is 100% money back guarantee to work. It involves a hockey
goalies face mask and when worn at meal time will cut your 225 down a bit.
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.
