  Wow. Recipe for disaster if I’ve ever seen one.
  60 mph on the road? How do you license that thing?

  What a bunch of “Doubting Thomases” out there. The only reason not to like this thing is you know nothing about flying. Yes, it would be a disaster if the general public get hold of this machine without proper training, but for those of us that can fly and drive motorcycles, it’s a piece of cake. License it like a rotorcraft and a motorcycle. Anyone trying to operate this thing without the proper train deserves to be killed! This invention will change travel in this country if it is not legislated too much. Drive to a take-off area in your town - unfold the rotors - take off and fly 90% of the way - land - fold rotors - drive to destinaion. Sort of like the Jetsons, get it?

  Wow. If you can get everybody flying in a pattern to work,just think of the billions of dollars we would save on building freeways.

  I think this would be safer than the other motorcycles out there.atleast they would be off of the road 90 percent of the time

  Here is the ultimate solution to that:

  for gods sake, A true motorcycle has TWO wheels (2), not three. Thats just a typical ultralight, nothing new and nothing special

  This design will never be approved for the road as it is. The unshrouded prop and top heavy tricycle configuration are simply unsafe at any speed. Also, the propwash and high speed debris it will carry will never be tolerated on the street. It’s an autogyro with cool landing gear, nothing more.

  Modern, stable, centreline thrust autogyros are a natural choice for SATS. What we need is a mode of disengaging the prop and getting the engine to drive the wheels directly for those worried about prop wash - a sprag clutch/clutch and gearbox - but it needs to be light.

  This is a good start to perfect recreational vehicle.
  I would love to test drive one!

  This is going to work, I am building a kit and from all the work Larry Neal has put into making sure it’s road worth and air safe , no blades turning when street worthy and all things needed to make it road worthy , it will be safe, much safer then a two wheel motorcycle.
  The design has taken quite a few changes since it’s inception 2 years ago when Larry decided to use only air craft engines , and has redone the entire frame of this new machine.

  Hey Roger, please pass along to me as much information as you can concerning your kit. As a former pilot and current motorcycle enthusiast, I want to get my hands on one of these machines! Thanks!
