Pretty cool bird. It has the 65hp Rotax Blue Head motor and a Warp Drive carbon fiber bladed prop. It will get off the ground in a hurry!!! :cool: Cruise is 80-85 mph so it is not hard to cover some ground. I flew over the farm and over a few friends houses (with pools in the back yards… ;) ) :D

We did some touch and go's and loss of power simulations. That **** will get your attention!!! Let me tell you!!! I think he is fixing to turn me loose in it. :cool:

BTW it is for sale… Pretty cool ride IMO!

Yea it is!!! And a RUSH also! I am familiar with the area so navigation wasn’t a problem. Swimming pools.. ;)

Trick question. Depends on what you are doing. We were doing a lot of touch and goes. That uses a lot more fuel. I’d say 2 hrs no problem. I got to practice landing in a 90 degree cross wind. Very cool and it schooled my ass the first time! Any one can fly… You just have to land the damn thing! :thumbsup:

I think it falls under a “recreational license”. I think it calls for a driver’s license and that’s all. Of course it doesn’t matter unless you get caught/crash. Ed it has your name written all over it! :D

I don't think so. I've had all the airtime I'll ever need in riding in helo's for 12+ yrs. It took all the fun outa going up in the air for me. It's just a fast mode of transportation to me these days. Although I'd love to go for a ride in a fighter jet. :D
