Default Super Skycycle

I sat on the Skycycle at Oshkosh and it had a license plate on the rear.

I'm waiting to see one wind up at Sturgis. What a trip that would be,
flying in.

I wonder what the rule would be at Oshkosh? Could a person fly in, get

a
tiedown spot, then drive the skycycle in and out of the airport for

maybe
some gormet dining.


Has one of these EVER been licenced for street use in the US? The prop
as a propulsion method while driving down the street seems like a law
suite just itching to happen.


Hey buddy,

Take another look at the power shasfts going to both rear wheels.

Well I'll be. I looked for such on some other photos and never saw it. I
do note that it still missing a license plate though so the first part
of my question is still out there.

boB,
Harleys...good weather on a weekend, go for a flight. The ones that I
have looked at are the Air Command (www.aircommand.com) Commander Sport
and the Sportcopter (www.sportcopter.com) Lightning gyros. Air
Command's ultralight appears to be out of production, so I may have to
go with a full-size gyro (maybe a tandem to give the kids rides), but
it about doubles the price.

The Super Sport looks nice, large cabin and all, but I don't see an actual
picture, just a drawing. If it appears it seems a good candidate for a
cross-country aircraft.

If and when I fly again it will be a Sport Category aircraft. I've never
failed a medical so my drivers license is all I need. Not that I couldn't
pass a physical, stop taking pain meds and I'm fine.

I liked that one too, it's just questionable as to whether or not
they've actually built and certified that model. The more I look at
price, the more an autogyro for local cross-county purposes looks like
the best option. I might also get a stuck-wing certificate to
facilitate longer trips.
