I'd like to share a video of my project and solicite constructive feedback. Any ideas, thoughts or concerns are appreciated. Many peoples suggestions are incorporated into this prototype.
This began as an interest in roadable aircraft and evolved into a cargo pod to carry a motorcycle (225-250cc). The pod has an integral winch system to raise it to/from the belly so the motorcycle may be removed without heavy lifting. It takes 3-4 minutes to remove the bike, unfold the handlebars and hit the roads. The motorcycle carries two adults and keeps up with freeway traffic.
There’s a lot more information on the website: www.MotorcyclePilot.com If you click the “News” button, there are some interesting pictures from construction and load testing.
I plan on making a few of these for other RV-10 owners but I’d really like to get STCs for the Cirrus SR-22, Cessna 182, etc. If anyone has experience with STCs, I’d really like to hear from you.
