    The Dyke already has folding wings as part of the design, and has
nosewheel
    steering. How about a clamp on power unit for the nose tire?  It might be
OK for
    short runs away from the airport. The design draws a crowd anywhere it's
parked.

I like the take apart ducted prop idea better. Can be made from super light weight 
carbon fiber and foam. Can be optimized for static thrust as aero drag is 
unimportant at 60 MPH. Will cut the prop noise and prevent collisions
with pedestrians. A screen will keep out rocks. Can be assembled around
the prop in just a few minutes. The Dyke Delta could be licensed as a 
three wheel motor cycle. This idea is so simple and so practical I am 
wondering why I did not think of it ten years ago.
