Pre-paint Hang Test. Frame is made from .90 steel tubing, 1.5 inch diameter.
Brackets, front end etc are machined from aluminum. |

Dash Board w/Oil Pressure Gauge/light. Volt & Amp meters. Tiny
Tach, and a combination Altimeter, Clock, Digital compass. |

Front wheel w/steel mini-bike fender and steering. Steering is accomplished
with a 5/8'' Center Bolt and 2 sets of Thrust Washers. |

Seat is extremely comfortable. The seat pad is from a Yamaha
Rhino, I could not get a bucket from Yamaha for the seat pad, so I had to
build a wood frame. |

Rear Axle assembly. I used two steel tubes one above the other for
additional landing support. The axle is in the lower tube. |

Another shot of the rear axle assembly, you can see the clamps made to
support the tubes, and that 64 inch prop. |

Terry Lutke's Re-Drive unit, utilizing GSC Ground Adjustable Wood
Propellers. I love the look of the Wood! |

Another shot of the Re-Drive Hub. The design and craftsmanship is evident in
this critical component. |

I felt compelled to guard the Wing from the propeller parts as much as I
reasonably could without reducing air flow. |

So I drilled a lot of holes then threaded the material through to create a
netting. The Net? Red Weed-Whacker line. |

A shot of the side bars, they lay at a good angle, you get some feeling of
security with them without blocking the view. |

My hand throttle does not hav a throttle lock, this is a lawn mower throttle
control that serves as a cruise control. |

The American Name V-Twin! 23 HP, cruises at 2500 RPM's. |

I used a Gel-Cell Battery. Smaller and no liquid acid. |

And quiet! You can hardly hear the motor run. |

View from the front, ready to fly! So we took 'er out. |
