Check out the specs, they are impressive.

Very fast too, James Bond would be proud!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If the engine dies, you can still glide 4,000 feet forward for every 1,000 feet of decent.

We only use full synthetic PAO Amsoil 10W-40 for obvious reasons! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

VERY cool! Will it take off and land vertical, like a helicopter? Single seat or two? And now is not the time for another oil debate, we're drooling over your sky-tractor /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That little gyrocopter is really cool! How much does something like that run?

Was that the Leesburg/Eustis Kubota dealer in the first picture?

It is a two seater.

It needs about 15 feet on the ground to take off, landing though needs about 100 feet.

When your going 140 mph @ 14,000 feet, you are sure to only use the very best oil possible, ie the same lube we use in all our Kubotas @ sealevel! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It cost $31K for the entire package delivered direct from the factory.

It was assembled at the Pensacola Naval Air Station out in the Florida Panhandle, but is now stationed in Alachua, County.

Very neat Thom, thanks. Your right, heres where I would spare no expense on the oil. I might just skip right over the Amsoil and go Redline... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That is GatorLand Kubota on North 441 in Gainesville, Florida about three miles north of the University of Florida.

We've seriously considered that, but the first 250 hours of operation have been flawless! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
