Former test pilot Larry Neal of Boyd, Texas created this awesome flying machine called the Super Sky Cycle (basically a flying bike - technically a cross between a motorcycle and an autogyro).
The flying bike goes as fast as 70 mph in the air and 60 mph on the road, and sells for around $25 grand!
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!
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.
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.

I would love to test drive one!
