When I was at Fond du Loc and we couldn't get my Archer up the tiny
incline in front of me I called the FBO and they cheerfully towed me to
the taxiway. But I suspect the sheer quantity of planes at OSH would
quickly overwhelm any FBO who tried to be so generous.

Someone mentioned at the Wednesday night party that there were 12,600
registered aircraft on the field. Add to that the GA Parking folks and
there were probably close to 12,800.

Hi Sylvain,
The *only* reference to this scooter I found was a post in the usenet
groups from you, in this forum...

Could you please tell me a little more about this scooter ? Was it
impressive, do you think it could be worth buying it (how long was
your trial) ?
Where are you from (did you test in the United States or was it
in Europe ?) ?
As it has nothing to do with aviation, perhaps you can reply me
on my address directly.

Thanks a lot !
Regards,
Sp

are a little more adventurous (and mobile), I also tried the
Go Motorboard 1500X, but it requires a bit more balance skill
than I can (reliably) master; it looks like many a toy electric
scooter but is very solidly built; not quite as fast as the
Zap-III (somewhat surprisingly if one looks at the specs on paper)
but it folds and fits in a backpack and when using it, can
pass for a non-powered scooter (handy in places where it
wouldn't be allowed :-)
