This may be the one. A combination of a gyro copter and a three wheel motorcycle with a pusher prop.

Bob,

You didn't get the attachment attached.

Hi Steve.

It is a link that I copied from an email. I noticed that it did not turn blue or magenta. Try a copy and paste to your URL. I will do the same and it it doesn't work, I will forward the email to you until I can fix the problem.

Thanks for letting me know. Usually the copy and paste function to the forums works like a charm.

Bob - I fixed it.

You da man.

Thanks.

I don't know Cornbread...Maybe not so good for an ABEES run. I am thinkin' we might fly/ride in OK but after we eat...probably be a no-fly zone!! Oh well, I guess we could just ride home! But really it did look a little shakey to me!!

Trying to get in on the Action

I recon they're jealous of the southern Alabeemer section, and was trying to get in on the action. Not really a new idea though, just a gyrocopter, like the one featured in "MADMAX ROAD WARRIOR" I believe it was. Amelia Ehreheart still holds the autorotional record in a similar device from south America. Let's see if I can find it on Wikipedia.

In 1931, flying a Pitcairn PCA-2 autogyro, she set a world altitude record of 18,415 feet (5,613 m) in a borrowed company machine

There it is, ole Wikipedia, comes to the rescue. Just can't figure out how she was breathing at that altitude.

Cute idea though, In aviation we have this saying all roads have wires, so I can just see Johnny Q. Public taking off without any aviation experience, and just going airborne in a traffic jam when he discovers the mortal enemy of helicopters, wires everywhere. Still, might work I suppose, if you lived in rural, Wyoming.
