What flavors we have to
choose from!
I've flown most types of
wheeled craft but not this one, pictured right. When foot launched, it's among the stranger
craft.
When foot luanched, the Airgate articulates such that the pilot launches
with the motor upright but then mechanically moves it so he's reclined
in flight. On the trike, it appears it just stays in the reclined
configuration. Interesting.
Sexy Wheels
The Russians are coming and
what they're coming up with takes my prize for the coolest looking
machine. Now all it needs is heat. Go
here for more.
Can you imagine that? An
enclosed PPG cart with heat. Then having this much pizazz--northern
pilots would slurp them up like ice cream. Put zippered vinyl sides,
have the brake toggles go through a hole using pullies and the steering
go through booted enclosures. Add an exhaust muff with slipstream forced
air heat routed to the enclosure's windshield for both cabin heat and
defrost.
Build me one of those and
I'll plunk down for my first wheeled PPG. |

for creating it. |
