Title: Pocket Planes
Post by: cav58d on April 25, 2007, 11:47:26 AM

So we all know what "Pocket Bikes" are....What about pocket planes?  How awesome would that be! HAHA...A little mini lancaster with an 8 foot wingspan.  Rocket motors, and the cockpit so small, your knees are banging the dash.....That would be hilarious!

I wonder how cramped his neck was from having to bend down to fit into the canopy.

The question is........Think you'd need your multi rating to fly that sucker? lol

Used to be, experimental floats and multis didn't need water and multi ratings, but I read somewhere that this has recently changed.  Can't cite a source, just something I heard.  

On the gripping hand, it looks like centerline training would probably be enough, heh.
