Helicycle gets TV time........

[StanFoster]

I was contacted by Channel 3...WCIA out of Champaign, Il wondering if the they could send a crew to film a segment of their CI Outdoors show. I quickly accepted and they were up in a few days. They had me talk about my Helicycle that I had built...and then took some video of it flying. I had no control of the editing but 45 minutes of taping was cut down to just over 4 minutes.

 

I am just ecstatic about my Helicycle that I have been flying almost 2 years now. Lately I just custom made some fairing to streamline my landing gear. It gained over 4 mph on the topend.

 

Heres the video link....

The video disappears when I try to play it.

Wow that was fantastic! You must of had some background in mechanics or engineering or something?

Awesome Stan, glad to see your machine is getting the attention it deserves!

[StanFoster]

mrkik- not an engineer......just a self taught curved stairbuilder. The Helicycle is a very well designed kit...It takes patience and a lot of it is self fabricated....but not the critical stuff.
