Now here's a real toy I agree, but as he's only got a score of 23 do you reckon he's really worried given that it's been described accurately, no misleading if you read through properly and it's a dead sexy bit of kit innit ? If I could fly or at least afford to learn I'd go for it. -- -- Robbo Trophy 1200 1998 BMW K100 RS 1984 "Fairly Quick" status. Silver level BotaFOF #19. E.O.S.M 2001/2002/2003/2004.

"I will be happy to let you take a good look at them both of them. No Haggling, No test flights will be entertained and No you can not fly her home, collection by flatbed or trailer only " That's worrying. Reminds me of tentatively riding "just bought" bikes home.

You really don't want a Rotorway. An kit-built helicopter assembled by god knows who with unknown engineering qualifications. OK for fixed wing planes but not fiendishly complicated devices like a helicopter. Besides, Rotorway don't have the best safety reputation in the world. Quite a few people have been killed in them. Earlier this year the Rotorway designer was killed in one of his own helicopters. What you really want is an autogyro. That's a rotary aircraft which is cheap to build and more like biking than any other flying craft. Mikey
Sort of. I have a PPL fixed wing licence. I have recently done a 1.5 hour training flight in an 2 seat gyro. It was amazing. A biking mate also did one. He is about to start his training and is in the process of having a gyro built for him. I reckon I'm going to do the same thing once I get the money (Some bloody chance!) All bikers would (IMHO) given the chance to experience it, really enjoy flying. There is so much similarity between the freedom (to behave like a twat) that you have on a bike and what you can do when you fly (almost anything except an Airbus with 250 passengers) Mikey
Many microlights do (as the majority don't have carb heat). Interesting moments of the "oh ****, I hope I can stretch this glide with no power" after throttling-back on final approach aren't uncommon!
