    Years ago I built a Teebird Ultralite and my neighbor hanger guy bought one of these when they first came out and it looked really really cool I always thought it would be funny though to have a bee fly up the pantleg / crotch with legs hanging out the sides like that
    Awesome video appreciated the good music too

    • @theflyingfireman
      @theflyingfireman  5 років тому

      Michael McKellar , I think it will be a wing wash problem meaning one wing is lower at the rear than the other thus causing the plane to roll without even using the ailerons. Much like the Wright flyer was made to turn. Lol

    I didn’t realize you had a UA-cam channel. AirBike looks good and looks like it handles good too, I bought a GoPro for my Breezy hopefully we’ll get some good weather to try it out. Fantastic job on the build and piloting skills . OO

      Looking forward to seeing some good ole Breezy videos for sure.
      Stay tuned to my channel because I will start posting some new videos of my Suoer Cub build that’s just now getting underway.

    How much does it costs for everything to get up in the air (engine, wings, etc)

    • @theflyingfireman
      @theflyingfireman  4 роки тому +2

      TRB ZING , that all depends. If you build from scratch or you already have some of the materials yourself, it can be a little cheaper.
      If you buy a kit, which I’m not sure you can even purchase an Airbike kit anymore, it will be a much larger expense upfront but you will have almost everything you need to complete the aircraft besides paint and maybe instruments.
      Kits of any kind these days are getting pretty expensive. I doubt you could buy any kind of an aircraft kit for less than $10,000.
      If you can find one, you can always try and buy a used one. There’s an old saying though,
      “ if it don’t fly, then don’t buy”.
      The reason for that saying is that if you bought one almost complete, and it’s not flying, you may run into mistakes that the previous builder made that would cause the whole project to have to be scrapped.
      Good luck.
