Yes it is roadable. I, like Jeff, are one of those crazies
that thinks airplanes can drive on the street.

I think we need a catagory on the ACRE NL for roadable airplanes.
We can put Jeff's picture up and mine. Herb Adams is working on
a ducted fan design that can both float, drive and fly.

Good question Jim. I am waiting for Perry Mick to get ducted fans
developed :-) 

Either that or I am going to put a 900 HP turbo three 
rotor in it and damn the ducted fan  efficiency.
In that case I am sure it will fly.

The airplane in the picture powered by a three rotor ducted fan flew.
Just kidding. I have no intention of designing and building it.

The KIS is about all I can handle unless I live to be 100.
