Hi All,
Pictured is my flying bike. I am a few weeks from taking it out for 'taxi tests'; just going to ride it around and make sure the wings don't take
away from the bikes stability. Will do 12 inch jumps at the bike park after that. Just to get the feel of catching some air. Like many of you, I am wondering how I can get the rush and feel of flying for low $. After thinking about this for most of my life, this is my answer.
I am a Harvard/MIT educated engineer but use my skills as a professional artist. And as you can see I am a dad so risk here is sub minimal. I also have a student glider pilot license. I trained in 233s and owned a KA6 for a while.
I am building from wood and fabric. I am a part-time Luthier so it seemed like a good choice of materials. Anyhow looking forward to being here.
All the best,
Paz
