Inventors long promised that a cheap, Easy-to-Fly Helicopter was nigh. (SETH SHULMAN 2002) Elwood Norris found of the AirScooter believes he can over come this problem. A few little set backs leaves his aircraft far from high in the sky. The reason being is the carburetor is malfunctioning which he is going to replace the whole engine to a four stroke. But that's common for most of the inventors it's those unks unks (unknown unknowns) that's the killer. All of the inventor strive to achieve one thing a sturdy, mass-marketable flying machine easy enough for everybody. Keeping it under 254 pounds also is a big factor, FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) requires the aircraft to be lighter than 254 pounds to be considered an ultralight craft. Which means you won't need a pilot's license to operate the aircraft.

Norris' aircraft consists mainly of rubber pontoons, twin-rotor, open cockpit, and an en

The Dream is defiantly there for me at least. There are a lot of other inventers out there trying to make the best personal flight machine but the AirScooter to me seems the most enjoyable and promising aircraft out there today. Elwood said "Everybody I have met seems to have this dream to get off the ground and defy gravity." Though the FAA regulates that ultralights cannot fly through congested areas, in controlled airspace, or even over open areas where lots of people are, and must remain low enough to see the ground. But the ultralight helicopters have a lot of problems to over come, one of which and most important is safety, because they can only fly so low is that a conventional parachute will not operate correctly at the altitude so they need a new safety feature. I do look forward to the day when a new fun type of transportation could be wide spread, but I think we are a ways from seeing any type of ultralight aircraft next door or in your own garage. <
