Up, Up and Away!

I was thinking ... there's that can of rusty nails, nuts & bolts out in the garage ... and we don't really NEED stormdoors ... has anyone ever tried to put wings on a MB?
lol

I dont think you could get enough power for wings, but you might be able to fly a paraglider.

You would have to shift the power to a prop once you got off the ground.... friction drive off the tire maybe ?

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you kill yourself, i had nothing to do with it.
Just giving you a bad idea to expand upon.

my other THING -- the little wife
told me the other day that she had ordered one of these for me
yes -- as I remember -- that was right after she had talked with our
insurance man -- uping my death policy for SOME UNKNOWN REASON !!!

after seeing that video FOR THE FIRST TIME JUST NOW
I am going to tell her that I don't want that flying THING for Christmas

not all THINGS are good or wanted by Mountainman

Many of the early attempts at flight were just bicycles with improvised wings.
It would make a good flutag!

Bike-less Flight

That reminds me ... what we must avoid are those short, bike-less flights ... where the bike suddenly stays behind and we keep on going!

Not to worry Sparky ... you're miles away!

you got to make it with folding wings for when the cops are chasing you! Use latches that catch when they fold down (like in bars).

There's a thread here somewhere by a guy who's trike looks like a biplane. I can't remember what it was called.
