Remarks: on display at Mid-Atlantic Air Museum - ("Your automobile is a low flying airplane. Let's take the car off the road and fly where flying is safe--in the wide blue yonder!" An impractical dream? So was flying not so long ago....so was motoring. And now says Daniel R. Zuck, "since the modern car has slavishly imitated the plane in everything except the wings, let's put wings on it and make it fully functional." (this is an excerpt taken from Daniel's book "An Airplane in Every every Garage")
Remarks: on display at Mid-Atlantic Air Museum, - (George G. Spratt (1904-1998) designed this roadable aircraft which featured an earlier version of his Controlwing System. Powered by a 60 hp Mercury 983 cc outboard motor boat engine it was flown for the first time in mid-1973. Primarily a composite structure of polyurethane foam and glass fiber, the aircraft featured foldable wings for towing or storage, non-retractable tricycle landing gear of which the nose wheel was designed to attach to a trailer hitch for road towing. The engine was subsequently replaced by a modified Surabu engine.)
