I assume very much not road legal, but cool as all heck.
Found this today: Video in link

No kidding to that last quote if you watch the video. It's a passing hazard out there.


This Man Is Trying To Make The World's First Road-Racing Airplane



Broke the $500 limit, no surprise.

Two grand later, it's his. Oh, and lots of bribes and special waiving of rules to allow the higher cost for the LeMons race because, come on, it's a freaking plane.

I thought at first it was deja vu.

Isn't part of the LeMons deal that somebody can buy it for $500?

There's an auto shop in Cedar Flats that has a similar fuselage on top of a shipping container. He wants to put it on 4 wheels.

very cool! I have had a couple 310's including a parts plane that looked much like that one. I've flown those since the mid 80's
The swept phony tail is just that. The fuselage is an A,B or C. Those wer straight tail planes.

From what I could tell the donor plane was missing it's original tail.

Seems extra silly of them to add a tail, but it does have a commanding affect.
