Remembering RAH-VFR...RIP #20
That's IT, I am selling all my bikes...
And getting one of these UCanFly2 !
They fly these things off the Sanibel causeway about 2 miles from my house.
What can be cooler than have a 3 foot prop rotating inches from your body?!?!
I knew this was for me when I saw them taking off the beach and cruising over the bay. Then it was really confirmed when I could answer yes to all 3 of the questions on the home page! 
I don't know if there is a vid of it on there or not, but you should see them "run up the engine" to test it prior to take off. They brace their bodies and rev the motor with a hand held throttle. It almost pushes them across the ground!

Oh, why did you have to show me that! I must have it!
You know though...the more I look at that I bet I could build one!
I have some old fold up lawn furniture, zip ties and duct tape.
Now for an engine...hey where did I put that keg of black powder?
I gotta go...update to follow!

Yep, that's the place!
Yep, I been to "the Duck"! Still there, still a cool place.
There are some other great restaurants and watering holes, but nothing else so close to the beach.
Come on back down, the weather is awesome! It hit 80 today with low humidity, just what the board of tourism says we have ALL the time!

I like the owner at the Mucky Duck with his spoon and cup trick. He always comes over and pretends to spill the cup on you while the spoon is pushed through the handle to catch it.

Re: That's IT, I am selling all my bikes...
Last time I was on Sanibel was during the '70's and the Mucky Duck was the only place around for miles. I'm glad that it's survived all these years...
Lee...you need to get one of these. We have them flying up and down the shoreline near where I live.

At this point in my life, nap time is more important than lap time...

Rotax? Does it have Aprilia stickers on the side too?

That is cool
Might be an option, looks like I could take people on an "adventure" with me then!
Hey! That's it! My new business venture! I would give generous discounts to forum members!

I remember there was a car door for drive-up service? 
And we stood in line for it to open, then it was a free-for-all for tables? That was years ago, so my memories might be a bit "fuzzy".
