Flycycle

8,002 hardy57  2.7 years ago

Flycycle is a human powered aircraft.
This not only looks somewhat like a human powered aircraft but also behaves like on.
It is very slow, can only be controlled through yaw and pitch and has just enough “muscle” power to stay in the air. It also tends to lean to one side.
How to fly:
THROTTLE to start pedaling,
PITCH for pitch,
YAW for yaw.
When you get tired, you can always glide back down!

Have fun…
