Alex,
When people see something they haven't seen before, most of them would believe almost anything you told them...It's true whether it flies in the air or drives on the ground, or does both! I tend to be a person that wants proof about something before I spend my money. :suspicious:
Again, thanks for all the praise. I am truly grateful for the warm reception.
On these goped engines that have a built in clutch, when you are ready to go, you apply full throttle and hold it until you are in the air and even for a few moments longer if need be. Mine will not over rev at flight RPM, so it's quite effective. The clutch provides a very nice soft start and doesn't show much sign of wear. The moment you let off on the throttle, the clutch disengages as well as the bendix, and voila'. There is some finessing required for ground handling as the torque applied to the airframe is trying to rotate it to the right.
