Cool name. They’re making something called a Ruckus. Stripped down pretty neat.

$40,000 US?

What? Oh well. I should be riding a bicycle anyway I guess.

40k for a brand new flying machine is practically stealing. Cross shop it against a new ATV or bass boat.

Yeah, I can’t switch gears from the last century when you could buy a reasonably nice C-172 for that much.

Anyway you need an engine, instruments and some other goodies to go flying.

Oh well it’s doughnut day, so I’ve got that.

There was recently a neat little single seat STOL toy for sale near me, called a Sky Raider or something like that. Picture a high wing strut braced fat tire thing with I believe a converted Yamaha on the front. Finished a couple years ago, looked well cared for, $25K to fly it home. Total steal for what it’s capable of but my friends mostly ripped on it too.
