$10k will get you a good start on throwing one of these together. 100hp and 180mph cruise speed - a perfect candidate for a one rotor.

I always like the Osprey, I'll have to find a pic of it, it's a 2 seater pusher.and can land in water.

Umm... You should really find another way of saying that!

hahahaha...



iv'e already flown by myself a number of times.. its just a matter of finishing my license for a single engine rating.



for the "trike" thing though, they say that most people solo after 1 and 3 hours of flight. there is a lot less to worry about to..



no radio (unless required by the airport), no flaps, runway length, engine failure.. if the engine quits, you just glide. i think its a great concept. i just have to get this job, and see if i could fly into this airport.

i like that.. but it is an ultralight, and you are required almost the same requirements as a standard single engine airplane.. they also take a lot more time to build..



i would rather have the engine in the back as well as an open cockpit.. i spend too much time behind a winshield driving to school or home etc...

my sister used to have one of those little airplnanes, she moved and lives on a private runway now. shes thinking of getting a new one (one of their engines shitted out while they were in flight).

What if it is raining?

then you get wet?







(that's what usually happens when you're outside while it's raining, isn't it?)

boxrs4sale

yeah, you get wet.. thats about it, and will slow you down (it did in cessna's)



so i am assuming the same for the trike things

who wants to fly in the rain? (i meant a bigger storm anyways )
