Re: eBay Rocket car
Wonder how it would do at the Bonniville salt flats?
 Of course, the turn around might be a little dicey.

Re: eBay Rocket car
I don't see how that thing would ever work, especially with the way the front wheel turns! Looks very unstable.

The Cessna'ish tricycle landing gear could be better in reverse as a tail-dragger but neither very safe...better to lose it completely and make a boat out of it?.

Re: eBay Rocket car
Those wheel pylons would most likely snap off very early in

Re: eBay Rocket car
"Fun, Fun, Fun"? My first thought is "hospital, hospital, hospital." How would you keep it on the deck? Remember the guy who strapped the sidewinder to the trunk of his Impala a few years back? Wasn't enough left to bury...
I've been to Ft. Smith. Nice place, not a lot to do... JB
