you'd think that planes and bicycles
don't have all that much in common.
Then again, it took a pair of
Ohio bicycle mechanics by the name of Wright
to introduce powered heavier-than-air flight in 1903,
so the connection's a lot firmer
than it might at first seem.
Just ask Randy Schlitter,
whose company started out building
sail trikes, land yachts and bicycles
before he turned his attention

From a single plane

an engine innovative enough for the plane it's pushing,
a 100hp Rotax 912ULS engine
that provides a cruising speed of
90 miles per hour (78 knots),
with a top speed of
120 miles per hour (104 knots).
Rate of climb is a respectable
1,000 feet per minute,
and range is 220 miles,
thanks to an 18-gallon fuel tank.

a traditional tricycle landing gear and pontoons,

in a package -- and a price -- that can't be beaten.
